If my life is a movie - in the movie, there's always the bad part. There's also the parts where you're down and out, and there are parts where everything's amazing.
Every time I go out to do shows, it just becomes a little bit more real and a little bit more full, so I'm excited just to see it hit its next level.
No matter where you are, what point in your life you're at, it's not the end.
Just because someone is your family member doesn't mean they're a good person.
I don't like to see people using their power over others, trying to hurt people who are weak or poor or people with darker skin or anyone who doesn't have as much privilege. It makes me so angry. I want to fight for people. I want to be able to make some kind of difference in the world.
I've done my own videos, I do my own styling, so I feel like I've just always been a visual artist... I was one of those kids who wanted to make my own clothes and take pictures of everything. Everything inspired me, and everything felt like art around me.
I feel like fashion is about being innovative and being able to turn something into something else, making it cool, and making it your own.
I grew up being very different and being ready to fight people. I wanted to stand up for myself, and I wanted to not let anyone think they know me based on appearances, so I was always just fighting back with people.
I'm a big Gorillaz fan.
It's difficult as an artist sometimes. There's a lot of pressure when it's your first album. You want to make something that's meaningful and timeless, not something that's trendy.
When I was little, I went through a lot of phases, like any girl.
It's really natural for me to write bilingually.
I never really wanted to be a singer. I always preferred to be behind the camera.
I made music just for myself.
I wasn't into social media at all, but when I decided I was going to put out my own music, I said, 'Okay, I'm just going to post it.' And that's when it started its rounds on the Internet, and people started to take an interest in me.
A lot of people were getting million-dollar deals from music I felt was trash, because their videos were going viral. I wanted to put out music that had soul, because that's what was missing.
California feels like Colombia but with less threats. I don't have to be constantly looking over my shoulder.
Colombian culture has had a huge influence on me and taught me a different way of looking at things - I was always different from the people I went to school with, and I learned to embrace that.
I used to love to look at cover art for vinyls.
A lot of people don't give Virginia credit. Pharrell, Missy Elliott - a lot of people come from here.
