Rihanna

“I hate going to the gym and doing it the old-fashioned way. I hate anything that's too straightforward, too routine, too familiar. I get bored really, really quickly.”

“I have such incredible experiences in my life.”

“I used to feel unsafe right in the moment of an accomplishment - I felt the ground fall from under my feet because this could be the end. And even now, while everyone is celebrating, I'm on to the next thing. I don't want to get lost in this big cushion of success.”

“Over the holidays, and even during filming, I realized that I actually like my body, even if it's not perfect according to the book. I just feel sexy. For the first time, I don't want to get rid of the curves. I just want to tone it up. My body is comfortable, and it's not unhealthy, so I'm going to rock with it.”

“Music is in my DNA!”

“Streaming is a really big market for me. We've been doing great in the streaming market, so it's not something I want to alienate at all. Streaming counts now. They're treating artists the way we deserve to be treated.”

“I got teased my entire school life. What they were picking on I don't even understand.”

“I never eat salad. I make sure I don't put a lot of junk into my system, but I hate vegetables!”

“I don't have anything to hide.”

“The bottom line is that everyone thinks differently.”

“Robyn is who I am. Rihanna - that's an idea of who I am.”

“You just want something else that someone else has, but that doesn't mean what you have isn't beautiful, because people always want what you have, and you always want what they have - no one is ever 100 per cent like, 'Yes, I'm the bomb dot com - from head to toe!'”

“You have to just accept your body. You may not love it all the way, but you just have to be comfortable with it, comfortable with knowing that that's your body.”

“There's a long way to fall when you pretend that you're so far away from the earth, far away from reality, floating in a bubble that's protected by fame or success. It's scary, and it's the thing I fear the most: to be swallowed up by that bubble. It can be poison to you, fame.”

“If I cry, it's because I'm very angry and I can't do anything about it because I've run into a dead end. That's when the tears would come down.”

“I always believed that when you follow your heart or your gut, when you really follow the things that feel great to you, you can never lose, because settling is the worst feeling in the world.”

“I could never identify with that word, 'weak.'”

“I never know what day it is. Never, ever, ever.”

“God just has a way of working things out the way he wants to and you have no say in that.”

“Women feel empowered when they can do the things that are supposed to be only for men, you know? It breaks boundaries, it's liberating, and it's empowering when you feel like, 'Well, I can do that, too.'”
