I had wanted to be a dancer when I was younger. But at some point I figured out I was a better singer.

Dubstep has been big in the UK for years. I'm fine with hearing a dubstep drop in any song.

Someone asked me the other day what my favourite record shop was, and I said YouTube.

I don't think I represent all things dubstep. I just like clubbing, so those are the sounds I've chosen to work with.

I'm a big fan of Beyonce and Rihanna. I've listened to Beyonce all my life, and she's a big influence on me.

I'm excited about representing my gender, but at the same time it doesn't matter. I wouldn't say my gender has been a disadvantage.

The greatest you is found in the kindest you.

Safety is only an illusion when evil is on the hunt. I can't stand by and watch. I have to act. It isn't easy to absolve one's self of guilt.

You have to be very, very good looking to get ahead in motion pictures.

If the machinery for distribution in the present economic system of the world is incapable of properly distributing the productive wealth of nations, then that system is false and must be altered.

I like to hang out with my friends. I love music. I like to go to the movies. I like to eat. I like to cook.

Every human being is an artist

Democrats want to fall in love; Republicans just fall in line.

...but the enchantment of error that you put on me I must wear forever in your eyes.
