Rap music is really good when you're traumatized.

You can't be a strong or cool woman and be represented except in a harsh way, looking mean and cold and hard. It's like reverse sexism.

Unless you're singing something that's kind of in rhythm with the bass, the melodies, it's just difficult.

L.A. prides itself on newness or being the last frontier or just not liking old things and tearing them down to build new things.

Women make natural anarchists and revolutionaries, because they've always been second-class citizens, kinda having had to claw their way up.

I think of myself as unconventional. I maybe always had a problem with authority, like a stubbornness about what's expected - despite wanting to get some recognition through performing - but also not always wanting to do the expected thing.

You know, we have our own audience, and it's not like - they just know we're not going to do certain things.
