“I want to give the girls who admire us everything I can. I don't want to just fill them with selfies and crap. That's not what I'm about. I'm about, 'Be aware of the world and that you're not the only one in it.'”

“Two powerful women making art together is always really cool.”

“Some of our songs are empowering, but I feel like more so than our music, it's who we are. We're four women who are completely different ethnicities, completely different body types, completely different walks of life and opinions.”

“I'm either dressing like a rocker chick, or I'm looking like I just stepped out of ancient Greece! It all depends on my mood. I love bohemian vibes, too.”

“Even the fact that I labelled myself makes me mad sometimes, because dude, I'm just a free spirit.”

“We had so many of our fans tell us how worthless they felt before they found out about us and watched our interviews and listened to our music.”

“I love music; I love performance. I love everything revolving around art. But I also am really passionate about politics and human rights and science and the environment. Those are things that fascinate me.”

“We want to just make music that impacts people - we don't really care about the rest.”

“It's truly disheartening to me to see so many beautiful women who have no idea what their potential is.”

“I've always been passionate about human rights in general. I think anyone who knows me can attest to that.”

“Kids would tell me I was fat and say other mean things about my body.”

“I am proud to be the granddaughter and daughter of immigrants who were brave enough to leave their homes and come to a whole new world with a different language and culture and immerse themselves fearlessly to start a better life for themselves and their families.”

“A bunch of my fans have come up to me and said, 'Because of you, and because you came out, I have finally begun to accept myself.' That is infinitely incredible for me. I didn't expect to get to the point where I would own up to it within myself.”

“Amandla Stenberg is so powerful in her energy and what she speaks about and what she projects. I think it's incredible.”

“I think Ed Sheeran would be a great collaboration.”

“There's this notion that artists are supposed to be dumb and frivolous. I completely disagree with that.”

“I just don't feel limited by genre.”

“I feel like all four of us are really powerful in our messages, what we speak about, and what we are about.”

“We're not all thin model types, and we're not all perfectly colored. It mind-boggles me that somebody would take time out of their life to make someone feel inferior because of something like that. That, to me, is insane.”

“I was raised to feel that I can do anything, and I will always believe that.”
