I don’t worry because everything’s gonna be alright.
If you treat me fairly, I’ll give you all my goods.
My mom always said, ‘Don’t date a guy who thinks he’s prettier than you.’
I loved grand pianos and small pianos, too.
My life is rich because I have those kinds of people in my life.
I’d rather not have anything than be a liar.
We are all one. We’re not as separate as we oftentimes think.
Stevie Wonder’s records introduced me to ’70s soul when I was 12 or 13.
Sometimes I’ve gotten photographs back and people have literally shaven off pieces of me, and I tell them to put it back.
Some of the greatest artists did their best work when they got political.
Maturity and experience are part of my liberation.
I’ve stepped more into my womanhood, I’m a mother now, I’m having a beautiful relationship as a wife and as a friend.
I want to continue to produce film, television, and theater, and to make the most amazing music that I’ve made in my life.
What breaks my heart is suffering of any kind. Too often, our world is divisive and cruel where it needs to be uniting and loving.
When I first started getting into the business, a young woman in a music game that was mostly men, I did feel inadequate.
I’ve always valued the input of the people I love. So in the past, whenever I’d make a decision – what to wear to an event, whether to pursue a job opportunity – I’d consult those closest to me, like my mother, husband, or manager.
I really appreciate Frank Ocean’s lyrical style, I appreciate the way that he can kind of draw you into this personal space, but it’s still lyrical. It’s almost poetic, in a way, but it’s very personal at the same time.
I love children and I love family and I love that interaction. Because I had a really close relationship with my mother, I understand that deep powerful love, and it’s so beautiful. To be a mother to a child is the most brilliant gift; it’s gorgeous.
I grew up in the middle of everything. I walked the streets alone, I rode the trains alone, I came home at three in the morning alone; that was what I did.
I grew up around the theatre. My mother is an actress. I would fall asleep on tons of theatre chairs. It’s in my blood; it’s in my spirit and my fabric of who I am.
