Really good things take time to grow. Foundation is not built over night.

My real name is Amethyst. It sounds like a stage name. My mom is kind of crazy.

For me, visuals are as important as the music. I just love escapism and giving people something to escape to. To me, that's what art is.

'Iggy' was my dog - he was named after Iggy Pop - and 'Azalea' is the street where I grew up; together, they have the right amount of syllables to make the perfect name.

Once you go great, you never go good..You never go back, even if you could.

T.I.'s my mentor; he's a really close friend of mine. I call him my brother like we talk on the phone all the time. He's helped me with my career.

I've never heard a man in a suit tell me what to wear; that's not their forte. You hire your stylist; whatever someone's image is as an artist is what they've chosen to portray.
