Social media overwhelms me.

Femininity can be a powerful thing.

I know every line to 'The Little Rascals.'

On tour, there's dry shampoo - I use the one by Bed Head.

Twitter and those platforms just didn't feel natural to me.

Every artist is an artist, and every heartbeat is a heartbeat.

My identity started developing through the songs I was writing.

It feels really good that people are connecting to my music so much.

I got a psychology degree from USC, but music is just my whole life.

I like wearing oils. Perfume makes me nauseous sometimes. It's too strong.

Being brave enough to just be unapologetic for who you are, that's a goddess.

Being brave enough to just be unapologetic for who you are‚ that's a goddess.

I tend to wear all black. I like feeling sexy, feminine, effortless, and real.

I'm very passionate, very emotional, very sensitive. I've always been like that.

I just think it looks so cool when a woman has a dirty martini. She looks so powerful.

I make really good pasta sauce. The secret to getting it right is just patience and love.

If you meet me, you might not get to know me. If you hear my music? You'll get to know me.

There are definitely a lot of creative people I want to work with. I wanna work with Drake!

The most personal thing about me is my music. The most honest, pure thing in my whole life.

When I'm in show mode, I can't even think about putting on makeup; I just have to be centered.

I never judge my own songwriting. It's just my heart. What's there to judge about your own heart?

I always say my music is like dark blue or black, like a punch to your gut that feels really good.

Me in my music and onstage - that's me without any fears of judgement; that's me when I'm shining.

I like feeling fresh and having really dewy skin. I like feeling moisturized and having a good brow.

It's a big thing in my music to highlight being human - being emotional and powerful, like a goddess.

I don't think of anyone as a 'groupie.' People who connect with my music are just inspiring and amazing.

I feel more comfortable being confrontational and authoritative. It's important for women in this business.

I found music when I was very dark. I felt unheard, with inner dialogues that I didn't know how to express.

When you broaden the little box that you've been living in for so long, it can be very uncomfortable at first.

I like Australia, but every time I'm there, I feel like everybody's being sarcastic because everyone's so nice.

I've never really been into social media - I don't have a Facebook; I don't do Twitter or Instagram or anything.

Real pain hurts so bad. When you've gone through something and you've overcome it, you're able to heal other people.

I think every person is so unique. I think every woman is so unique, every man is so unique, every artist is so unique.

The song 'Stick'? That needed to be chunky and sexy. It's human. It's human to be the girl in 'Stick' and feel spicy as heck.

I love Lauryn Hill, Tracy Chapman, Fiona Apple. People like that. People you can really connect to on the most basic human level.

Nothing I do is thought out or planned or premeditated. It's just that I'm breathing and living! You just have to breathe and live.

Every human is so layered. And 'Brain,' that theme is about - I'm just such a sensitive person, and I can pick up people's energies.

I haven't even had to learn, but it's just this natural thing to be able to express any emotion I have through the tone of my voice.

I want people to feel the times where they don't feel good. You should dive into those emotions, because that's what I do with my music.

Sometimes I see through things when people are talking. I'm really sensitive to other people, so I can tell if somebody's putting on a front.

James Blake, Jai Paul, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Sohn, Kwabs, Sampha, Lil Silva, and Brandy, always. They all have soul. Deep soul.

Human emotion is more interesting than anything. Everything that is so overtly sexual is not real. Real emotion is sexy. It's vulnerable and raw.

There's no separation between electronic music and acoustic music. It's all one thing. Each song has its own heartbeat. Each song has its own soul.

I used to swallow people's energies, and then I learned, as I got older, that I'm too sensitive, and I had to stop doing that. Now I don't take as much in.

A wounded healer, I think, is a lot more powerful than a healer that has not been wounded. In 'Weaker Girl,' I was coming from a wounded healer's perspective.

I've felt real pain, and sometimes I channel the exhale coming out of that to write, and those are the songs that give me the most power and the most strength.

I really believe that if you want something bad enough, and you work so hard to get it, and you have it inside, then if you just never stop, it's gonna happen.

I think doing things that scare you a little is a good thing. A little bit of fear is never a bad thing. A healthy amount of fear makes everything taste better.

I like a kind of dark, bronze-y brown smoky eye with maybe some mascara, some contouring and stuff, but I don't like wearing black or pinks. I like it more tonal.

You're your own best friend. If you love yourself and believe in yourself then it doesn't really matter what other people think and then you're kind of invincible.
