The statement is that I’m not one icon. I’m every icon. I’m an icon that is made out of all the colors on the palette at every time.

We need fantasy to survive because reality is too difficult.

I decided to pursue music, so I dropped out of school and I told my parents I didn't want any money from them. I got three jobs and I just hit the ground running.

I hope to see women thriving and happy, loving what they're doing, and being in control and powerful of what they create. I guess what I would say is, as much as we all love the fashion and the makeup and the glamour, this isn't a beauty pageant. It's about the heart and the drive and the work. Of course, it's lovely to dress up and compliment one another and feel good - but that shouldn't be the very first thing.

Put your hands up and cheer for yourselves! You are strong, you are brave, you are confident, and I f*ing love you, Israel.

I'm confident in who I am. I've come to a place in my life where I've accepted things that are me, as opposed to feeling pressure to explain myself to people around me. That's just the way I've always tried to be. It didn't change when I became a star.

In case you're wondering whether I lip synch, the answer is no... people think so because I sound so good.
