I've only covered a few songs because I feel that if you're not going to go beyond the original artist in some way, then don't disrespect what they created.

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 grew up in the dance school my mother owned, and I see everything in body shapes, everything visual.

The only person who can confine you is yourself.

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.

It's frustrating when you feel like you have a message to get out and people just judge you regardless.

Even in independent music, people push towards radio. It is very political.
