“When I'm in L.A., I kind of go crazy in the middle of the night when it's, like, completely quiet.”

“I express myself a lot on Tumblr, especially through my diary entries, but my Instagram is my modeling portfolio. I have my game face on at all times.”

“One time I tried bangs, and people just weren't feeling it at all, but it's my hair. It's my unicorn mane, and it's definitely very important to me. It's also my body, and so I don't really care about other people's opinion of it.”

“There's always competition in the world, but you don't have to be enemies. You can empower each other.”

“I have three styles. One is my Hypebeast tomboy look, which is pretty much my everyday look.”

“For the most part, my daily attire is comfortable yet fashionable - I guess you can call it tomboyish.”

“Everyone has their own style. It's unique; no one person's style is wrong.”

“I believe I'm a unicorn. Unicorns are very magical and powerful and strong.”

“On the real, because you're dyeing your hair so much, it gets really damaged, so you just want to use a lot of products that help hydrate it and keep it nice and keep it moisturized. It gets really, really dry.”

“The-Dream was like my diary. I would sit there and talk his ear off about all my guy situations; he would just turn my stories into songs.”

“I used to sing SWV's 'Weak' every day when people would ask me to sing.”

“Even at my lowest point, when I've wanted to give up, I know that I have to believe in myself because I'm all that I have.”

“My hair is purple, and unicorns mean a lot to me. They're unique, rare, majestic, and beautiful, and I think those are some things that I embody. I wasn't always confident, and so once I gained my confidence, I was like, 'I'm a unicorn, and I don't care what anybody says.' My fans are unicorns, too. I like to call them my 'unicorn nation.'”

“Music says the things that people don't say or are afraid to say, and that's the best part about it for me.”

“When you're arguing with a fool, you're the fool for even going back and forth.”

“As a young adult, we all go through things now on social media. It's a part of our everyday lives.”

“I would describe my style as sexy, cosy, chic street-wear.”

“I thought that the music industry was going to be pretty easy - getting features and stuff - and everyone was going to be nice. But I realized that it's really, really hard to get features.”

“Being a part of the Dark and Lovely family is an honor. As a dark and lovely girl, I love what they stand for, and I love that they make products for women of color.”

“Sometimes people won't be able to relate to you if you look like you're straight out of a full blown 'Vogue' magazine every time they see you.”
