I hope women feel confident with themselves and realize that we don't all have to look alike or be the same size to be beautiful. I hope they feel like representing what it means to be an individual and to remain comfortable in your own skin.

Beauty is about enhancing what you have. Let yourself shine through.

I feel like Harriet Tubman, except I am trying to free people through underground music, to free themselves creatively and inspirationally.

I'm really thankful to have my own record label. I've always looked up to people like Madonna when she launched Maverick Records. Even Jay Z and Sean "Puffy" Combs, who's a mentor and also gave me a shot when I was an independent artist in Atlanta. He came to my show, and he said, "I just want people to know about you."

You cannot police me, so get off my areola

Perfection is the often the enemy of greatness.

I will not be a slave to my image, nor will I be a slave to anyone else's interpretations of me.
