I have been doing choreography my whole life, and it's so important to make that marriage between music and the body.

I've learned that you only become as creative as you possibly can by staying independent.

There's always going to be a fight between mainstream and underground because the mainstream is a very small bubble, and the underground scene is a very small bubble, and they both see themselves as secret societies.

We get discouraged sometimes when people look at surface only and neglect the message.

I've always loved literature, and the best books I read were always trilogies.

I'm not going to say I'll never rock with a band, because I'm too much of a fan of the aesthetic of a great band. But a girl group? Not again.

I had to appreciate other things about music, like the writing and the cadence and dealing with producers. I became a student. I wanted to learn the actual idea of what this industry was before I could creatively speak a lot of the things that I wanted to speak.
