“I have very few real friends because I don't really feel like I fit in with a lot of people.”

“Keeping it simple, 'Bounce Back' explains my trust issues. I'm sure everyone can relate in some way.”

“When it comes to fitting in, I think I'm really fly. It's not really hard; I'm just being myself.”

“I will really go looking at memes and be crying sometimes.”

“I feel like people being themselves and not being scared of judgment, they're putting that into their music, and it's like, 'Wow, they came up with something fire because they didn't care how you were going to feel about it. They didn't care if you were going to like it or not.'”

“I'm a sap. I like love movies. I watch too many of those.”

“If I'm 100 percent myself, I feel like I can go and create any type of music I want.”

“That's one thing I definitely learned was to always be aware of what's going on around you.”

“It's social progress to just be you.”

“I'm very big on being an example for my peers when it comes to standing tall in your own light.”

“I definitely hope that I'm inspiring a lot of different female artists to run with the boys.”

“Music is all I know. I can't get a job.”

“Yachty is really quiet when you first meet him, and that was different to me. That's just how he is. He's chill, but he'll talk to you. My first thought when I met him? 'Oh, I could get along with this guy.'”

“I probably talked to my mom about my sexuality first before anyone.”

“I have this nonstop energy that's almost annoying, like how a little sister would be.”

“I love Ashanti, so that was my thing. I liked that whole era. I don't know what to call that era but that feel good thing. Like Ja Rule, all of that. I like Cam'ron, Fabolous, all of that.”

“Feminism, to me, is nothing more and nothing less than the belief in equality for women.”

“I feel like everyone has been judging me based on 'Drip on My Walk,' and that's cool, but that was the fun record I did. That doesn't define me, but for some reason, that's how the world looks at it.”

“I hear stuff in my head all day.”

“There are times when I may be really into a person or a thing, and even though my heart is present, my mind travels.”
