You need to have honest things in the world. Even if people don't understand it, if it's coming from you, that's already important.

I grew up always wanting to be a dancer and when I went to New York, I fell in love with the idea of performing in all ways.

I think my life dramatically shifted when I met Lucas [Goodman] and it wasn't even planned. I had a very clear vision of what I was going to do.

I think also, obviously, having someone like Lucas [Goodman], and the people around me are very, not gender-driven or any of that, so when we come in as thing, that's what it is. You can work with us or not work with us and I think that has been helpful. I don't try to put myself in a vulnerable position in that way. I won't just sit quietly.

I definitely listened to Lauryn Hill - her's was like the first album I bought myself. Brandy's Never Say Never and Lauryn Hill's The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill were always in rotation for a couple of years.

In New York everyone just kind of knows each other.

The people that have inspired me the most were dancers and choreographers.
