First, Before I'm An Artist, Before I'm

Redefine What It Means To Be Sexy And What It Means To Be A Woman. Showing My Skin Is Not What Makes Me Sexy. I Like Skirts And Dresses Just Like Everyone Else, But I Had A Message I Needed To Put Out There. It Was Up To Me To Show People And Young Girls There Was Another Way.

I'm Not Focused On Being Perfect. I Like Trial And Error. You Learn Through Uncomfortable Experiences. And Now I Know What Doesn't Work For Me, And I Know What Does.

It's Hard For Me To Be Serious. I Can't Really Rub Oil On Me And Go All The Way With It [laughs]. I Hear Some Screams And I Laugh To Myself. I Always Get A Kick Out Of It. I'm Three Feet Tall, Basically.

There Are Some Groups That For Years And Years Have Not Gotten The Rights That The Majority Of Human Beings Have, And I Think That It's Important To Continue To Draw These Parallels So That When We Think About Our Future We Can Change Some Of The Lives Of People Who Love Differently Than We Do, Look Different Than We Do, Who Come From A Different Class. It's All About Bringing Awareness To How Important It Is To Be Accepting Of People...and There Will Be Oppression If One Group Thinks They're More Important Or Superior.

Lauryn Hill, P-funk, Marvin Gaye, Public Enemy - I Have A Very Diverse Palate For Music. I Can Go From Judy Garland To Jimi Hendrix To Stevie Wonder To Rachmaninoff. I Just Love Great Music.
