I can be quite daring with my clothes but I believe that you have to feel comfortable and confident to carry off whatever it is you're wearing.

I've always had a fighter's spark in me. I was born with it. I think it's in my blood.

When I go onstage, I kind of turn into a beast sometimes, this alter-ego, you know.

I think shoulders are sexier than cleavage.

If believing in yourself and going after what you want in life and realising your worth is ruthless and selfish, then I'm definitely ruthless and selfish.

The word feminism has negative connotations for men. Rather, we are wanting to celebrate females and their confidence. There is no political agenda behind my work. I'm just trying to make music that makes me feel good and confident. We've got a cool message.

I was a very quiet, shy child. I grew up in a small town, Louisville, Kentucky, and there weren't too many Hawaiian-Filipino girls, so I stuck out like a sore thumb. I didn't look like everyone else and didn't feel I belonged... But these things only build character and make you stronger. It taught me to grow into the woman I was to become.
