Who needs a handbag? I put my money in my bra.

I've always had mixed feelings. I don't know if it's any better or worse. I do think there's a really boring side of what's going on now - the over-repetitive, oversexualized thing. There's a lot of women that know better, that are really beautiful and sexy, but it's like: We know you can shake your ass in a G-string and wave it around, it's not that risque. It's not dangerous. It's very obvious and boring.

I had this weird, nomadic little tent with a rug over it, like a booth where I'd sing the vocals.

I've always looked to other women for inspiration and kicks. When a woman stands up and does her thing, it never ceases to excite and inspire me.

To save my child, I'd rather go hungry. I got all of Ethiopia inside of me.

I have absorbed my life now. I am ready for my music to unfold. I know time flies, but before the end of this year, the album will be out. Even if it kills me.

When a child is born into this world it has no concept of the tone the skin is living in.
