I just think my own ambition would not allow me to sit on the gifts that my creator had given me. And so that's when I realized that I could actually go away.
Becoming a CoverGirl is truly an honor and a gift. It opens up a new platform for me to inspire women to feel stronger, braver and more beautiful inside and out.
Everything is about balance. You can't work, work, work, work without any play.
I believe that imagination inspires nations. It's something that I live by.
It's a big universe. To stay in one tiny place is doing a disservice to yourself.
I was constantly involved in music and theatre all through middle school and high school.
I'm about women's empowerment. I'm about agency. I'm about being in control of your narrative and your body.
I always think about the next generation and creating a different blueprint for them. That's my goal: to let them know there's another way.
Honestly, I don't believe in menswear. I focus on what pieces are most timeless, transcendent, match my lifestyle, remain remarkable, and command intriguing attention across the room at an art gallery.
When I first started in this industry, my goal was to be some best friend. The sidekick. I thought that would be an accomplishment.
I wouldn't be as comfortable with who I am if it had not been for Prince. I mean, my label 'Wondaland' would not exist without 'Paisley Park' coming before us.
I'm inspired by the words: 'electrifying', 'epic', 'minimalistic', 'transcendent', 'timeless' and 'rock n' roll.'
Once you find what you like, it's like it worked yesterday, it works today, it'll work tomorrow.
I'll refer to my music in color, like 'This song needs to be bright red.'
I love the mystery behind things.
I love Fun. They're great guys. They're incredible artists and musicians.
I don't do a lot of collaborations that I don't believe in. Actually, I don't do any collaborations that I don't believe in.
People in my family and camp who grew up listening to rap music love 'We Are Young.' I've heard it play at weddings. I've heard it in graduation parties. It's a big idea and big song.
When I got into the music industry, I wasn't focused on being the most famous artist or even getting a major record deal. It was just to make music on my own terms or create my own image, do my own hair, do my own makeup.
I know what I like; if you go to my closet, I have at least four of everything.
