Lauryn Hill, P-Funk, Marvin Gaye, Public Enemy - I have a very diverse palate for music. I can go from Judy Garland to Jimi Hendrix to Stevie Wonder to Rachmaninoff. I just love great music.

I enjoy how women dressed in the 1920s with the shimmering jewels and rich feathers.

Things might not go as planned, but at the end of the day it’s up to me to take those risks and do what I love most. And I don’t owe anybody an explanation. My journey is my journey.

I think if people genuinely want to help ... that'll shine through, no matter what color or what race. We cannot see race before compassion.

You cannot police me, so get off my areola

Perfection is the often the enemy of greatness.

I don't do a lot of collaborations that I don't believe in. Actually, I don't do any collaborations that I don't believe in.
