I love to leave the interpretation of my music up to the listener. It's fun to see what they'll say it is

Anything that had to do with art I been doing all my life. It was a gift. It's nothing I work real hard at doing.

I view my hair and clothes as functional art.

My hair is an aesthetic choice… At the same time, how you wear your hair is a political statement as well.

I don't feel like I need to preach to the world or nothing like that. I just feel like I share what I say, and if listeners get it, they get it. And I never underestimate the audience's ability to feel me.

What I work hard at doing is staying on a path of being kind and showing and proving that I'm a good person to society. That's hard. The talent, that's a gift. I just came here like that.

I have advice for people - period - who are in unhealthy relationships: Follow your heart. It will get you to where you need to be. Sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's easy, the places that your heart takes you. But continue to follow it. Where the train leads you - you'll get there.
