I love to feel that I'm not above anyone.

I've always wanted to go to Phuket in Thailand.

I'm totally into the emotional aspect of things.

I've always been an animal lover my entire life.

In New York everyone just kind of knows each other.

South Africa was something that just kind of hit me.

It's really exciting to be a voice for girls with curls.

We travel so much, I never adjust to time zones any more.

I'm a die-hard lover of high-waisted skirts with crop tops.

I can't leave anywhere without making my bed; it's ingrained.

I have a lot of lion jewellery and lion art. I also love crystals.

When I was a young girl, I wasn't always trying to have curly hair.

I wanted to fight to get into the front. I was just hungry to do it.

If I'm going to mix gold and silver, I make my accessories all match.

When you change something like your hair, the whole world changes also.

I think having wild, huge hair, is me being my own version of a lioness.

The people that have inspired me the most were dancers and choreographers.

Being vulnerable and strong is a complicated thing, but that's who we are.

I'm fascinated by animals and couldn't live without Dewy, my Boston bulldog.

I prefer to do things by myself, but I always bring in people who inspire me.

A brown lip liner will affect a red lipstick differently than a red lip liner.

I've always loved vintage and I never like to have something someone else has.

I think I'm confident because I'm free, I challenge myself, and I stick to what I do.

I'm always looking for people to feel connected to me and inspired in their own right.

I wasn't even singing when we first started Lion Babe, so my voice has only gotten stronger.

My mood board is archival images of Brigitte Bardot and Iman, and Naomi Campbell in the '90s.

Mascara, in general, is just so good if you don't have anything else. It just makes eyes pop.

I think just being a '90s kid - I was not a Backstreet Boys girl, I was definitely into NSYNC.

I've never seen the allure of being famous, because I know what that's like. It's part of work.

I like to go super blonde early in the spring because the sun's out and it helps keep that tone.

I love writing to my little sister. It's a very nice, easy kind of way I always find inspiration.

Transformation comes in a lot of different forms, but going natural really helped me love myself.

Sometimes words come easily and sometimes they don't. Most songs take me twenty minutes to write.

I think the world tries to put people in a box, like this is the only appropriate way to be beautiful.

I think the lion, besides the elephant, was the one animal that I just started thinking about so much.

I remember just looking at this lioness, she was staring at me, and we just had this weird connection.

I was also just strong and quick - it wasn't hard for me to learn how to dance. I was a natural at it.

This is what I love to do. I love to perform for people that get it or just want something interesting.

Making that statement of 'I'm not afraid to be untamed.' It's just kind of the marriage of those two things.

I've always idolized Diana Ross's hair. Why not have fun, big curls? You see the same sleek waves everywhere.

I never walk into a room and say, 'Hi! I am Vanessa Williams' daughter.' It helps me to become more authentic.

There's so many people that I feel like as soon as that happens, they can really be and focus on what they want to do.

The greatest blessing is that, within all of this, I've still been challenged every day to question and show who I am.

I went through so many phases when I was young - surfer girl, tom boy, punk - but they weren't mistakes, just moments.

The women in my family are just strong women who do their own thing, so I knew I needed to have individuals like that.

We [in my family] don't like to mess around and talk about our problems or complain, it's just not anything that we do.

I document my life and archive the things that are important and remind me of what my specific energy brings to the world.

I feel like my Lion Babe look is an embellishment of my everyday look - it's definitely more extravagant and more artistic.

I've always been kind of surrounded by music my whole life, so my earliest memories of it were just hearing it in the house.

I grew up always wanting to be a dancer and when I went to New York, I fell in love with the idea of performing in all ways.
