"I love to dance to Robyn, Nicki Minaj and Boney M."
"It's different everywhere you go. I'm lucky I'm drawn into people who love and support me. I'm sheltered from that life. I see how all over the world there's so much oppression and pain. I'm living in a bubble."
"I realize that if I were in that situation - living a hard life with people telling them they're not worthy of love - maybe I would be that strong and that brave."
"New York is very intense. Every time I go back to New York, I'm starting from scratch. You could have all these achievements - records, a tour - and then you get home and get back to the basics. It whips you into shape."
"I've been performing live a long time, even before doing dance music clubs downtown. I used to watch clips of Beyoncé to learn how to perform in front of people. I got my jitters out in front of my friends."
