Music is subjective to everyone's unique experience.

High school is a dark place; I hung out with ‘freaks.’

Alessandro [Michele] has really done the impossible. He's taken this classic brand [Gucci] and really turned it completely around and taken it in a direction that was so unexpected. [Alessandro and I] met and became friends here in L.A., and then we got to know each other and he asked me to do this. It was really organic and not the way this stuff normally happens.

I understand a lot of the female needs. I'm not saying I know all of them all the time though.

Sometimes you fall in love with a song 'cause it's new, it's exciting and you just birthed it. Then you fall out of love sometimes. But the strongest songs always survive and you come back and you fall in love all over again.

Labels are for cans, not for people.

Nothing is quite what you expect with Gucci. I'm just happy to be a part of their adventure.
