I'm bout that fast money, money ain't got no patience. But if them boys come run like you on probation.
You can't run game on a rapper. I'm always 10 steps ahead of you.
My advice to women in general- Even if you're doing a nine-to-five job, treat yourself like a boss. Not arrogant, but be sure of what you want - and don't allow people to run anything for you without your knowledge.
Austrailia, Sydney Might run up in Disney Out in LA with Lindsay
I told Khaled you the best but I'm the bestest. Better run for cover if your name is on my checklist.
You the type that be runnin ya mouth. See you on the block wanna run in ya house.
Who doesn't love Enya? Whenever I'm in a trying time, she is the calm in the middle of the storm. If I put her on, I'll be in this crazy peaceful state. I love her style. And her harmonies are freaking genius.
Female rappers get it the hardest. You have to be a girl, yet you have to be just as hard as the guys. I think some female rappers get scared out of the business before they can make it.
If people are sitting in the barbershop talking about my butt, it's conversational. That's what people are gonna do.
Like to me, I did the 'Harajuku' stuff. I did the crazy stuff. And now I kind of want to tone that back, and it's not toning my personality back, it's just showing like I don't only have to do that.
I feel like my entire career and life, I've been judged by people who did not really know me. I definitely think that they probably were right to assume what they had assumed about me, because there was such little to go on out there.
I've constantly tried new things, even as a child, and have always been obsessed with pink. Now I'm just a little more ladylike and fearless. You should never feel afraid to become a piece of art. It's exhilarating.
I can't see myself without pink lipstick. I can go without it for a couple days, but if there was no more pink lipstick in the world, I'd be useless. Seriously.
My happiness doesn't come from money or fame. My happiness comes from seeing life without struggle.
