I just like to be in the now. And kind of reporting on what it is that I see, feel and that's really reflective of the times that I'm in, we're in and I think with the latest works, it's still evident that we're going through a lot of the same things.

It just felt like all the excitement in the world was in the building [at the Democratic convention].

For me, I guess, just learning that just because there's not a whole lot of female MCs on the front lines being supported by major record labels doesn't mean they don't exist. It doesn't mean they don't have the drive and the competitive nature and the will and the way.

[I like to read] spiritual books, non-fiction, fiction, I have my moods.

I'm quite sure that they've got everything in the world going on, but when you're in their presence, you feel like you're the only person on the planet. They [ Barack and Michelle Obama] definitely know how to be present.

I'd say if you can, seize the opportunity, to go to a college or university and strengthen what it is that you have.

I've met them [Barack and Michelle Obama] before at fundraisers and things. But to actually meet them in the space where they dwell and make the most important decisions is a totally different experience.
