girl stars crazy
Pop stars are sending the message that their sexuality is the strongest thing they have to offer, and that's confusing and misleading to girls and women, especially since there's not enough of a counterbalance from those who rely on their other assets, like their music. Also, with the new obsession with all things "booty," it's important that women - and it's often women of color - aren't turned into mere caricatures. Right now it's: "Bend over." That's all people want to see. That's crazy. It's so far from where we should be.
taken opportunity creative
I've just been learning how to direct my own videos, choreography, doing costumes... every creative opportunity there is with my music I've taken.
hate film i-hate
I hate musicals, especially film musicals.
fashion inspiration thinking
I get inspiration from movies, from fashion, then completely random things you'd never think of.
So I don't think of myself as just a musician at all, I think of myself as an artist.
goes good music
I feel like good music comes and goes in waves.
mom saying
My mom's collard greens. No one else in the world can make them like hers. I'm not just saying that because she's my mom. She's got some Mississippi secret. I could seriously eat them every day.
bit broaden hoping knock lane music pop
I'm hoping to knock down the walls and broaden the lane a little bit more for music that's pop music at the heart of it.
But 'Sixteen Candles' is the only movie I could watch over and over and over without getting sick of it.
best
I've been doing transcendental meditation every day on the road, and it's one of the best things I've ever done.
music
Anyway, I'd get bored with just doing music!
breaks love monotony movies somewhere takes watching
I love watching movies. It breaks up the monotony of the road and momentarily takes you somewhere else.
