Women that look like me [the black ones] need to see more of themselves in social media, in film, in music.

Beauty is when you can appreciate yourself. When you love yourself, that's when you're most beautiful.

I live in Brooklyn, in Williamsburg, so I just like to wander around. Williamsburg's such a cool little neighborhood community spot.

I'm happy to just sit in a cafe and watch people. It's my favorite thing to do, for sure.

Be confident, and just do it. It's all about not questioning what everyone else is thinking, since they're probably looking to others to know what is or isn't cool.

Im a total weirdo and have often felt like an outcast and a freak, and I love that. It makes things so much more exciting.

I'm pretty much a thrift shop gal. Flea markets on Sundays.

Turquoise is my birthstone; Im a Sagittarius.

I see the human in everyone and everything. No one is more important than anyone else; I still hang out with my high school friends.

Grand Slams are funny things. You have to try to find a way to get through the first week and put yourself in a position in the second week. A lot of strange things happen.

I just want to not be me.

Never forget that anticipation is an important part of life.

I can't stand loud guitars that make me deaf.

Success, which touches nothing that it does not vulgarize, should be its own reward.

But we're still rehearsing and planning to make a new album next year. We have some really good new songs that we've already been playing on that last tour that we just finished.
