I drink a lot of coconut water. It balances out all the other toxic stuff I put into my body.

If you don't live your life, then who will?

I don't do things for the response or for the controversy. I just live my life.

I think women want freedom. They want to be empowered. They want hope. They want love; they want all the things that I want, and I'm not afraid to say those things and act on them, and I think that's why they identify with me.

Everybody has their thing they like or don't like to see. It's all in your head. That's why people take their own pictures, because it's difficult for someone else to capture what you seek.

I love singing. I love it, and it doesn't feel like a chore. It's an expression.

I have two main hair people I work with. They're always with me. I'm like, 'I'm bored! I wanna change my hair!' That's the good thing about a weave. You can do whatever with it.

I never know what day it is. Never, ever, ever.

When I won the first Grammy, there was no other feeling like that feeling. It just made me feel like I came so far, like that was just a dream a few years before that, and then it was happening right then.

I'd love to date somebody cool, fun, funny.

I love making music. That's what I love to do. So I don't feel like there's any need to take a break unless I want to.

I always wanted to do what my brothers were doing. I always wanted to play the games they played and play rough and wear pants and go outside.

I'm not generally a sensitive person, but I tend to be more sensitive toward others and what they're going through. I don't know if that's the healthiest thing, but it's the truth.

I can't make a song for a particular person or demographic. If I love it, I'm gonna do it. I have to perform it for the rest of my life. A song is like a tattoo - you can never get away from it.

It's easy to make an album full of great songs. But I want people to go for the ride. The songs have to make sense together.

Streaming is a really big market for me. We've been doing great in the streaming market, so it's not something I want to alienate at all. Streaming counts now. They're treating artists the way we deserve to be treated.

Honestly, I've been thinking lately about how boring I am. When I do get time to myself, I watch TV.

My musical taste and image is going to change naturally. It's not forced; I do what comes natural to me. Sometimes, I like to be dark... other times, I like to be really light and ladylike.

I have too many clothes, I have too many options.

I love music, and after my first experience with movies, I can't wait to do more.

When I cut my hair, the whole sound changed, my style changed.

It is one thing to record an album but it's a huge difference when people play it and listen to it and embrace it the way that I do. It has always been my dream to get my music out to the world and have people hear it.

People think, because we're young, we aren't complex, but that's not true. We deal with life and love and broken hearts in the same way a woman a few years older might.

I got teased my entire school life. What they were picking on I don't even understand.

If someone is right for you, you'll know it.

Robyn is who I am. Rihanna - that's an idea of who I am.

You don't want to live your life and then meet someone. You want to share your life with someone. That's what I'm missing right now.

When I see myself as an old woman, I just think about being happy. And hopefully, I'll still be fly.

You have to just accept your body. You may not love it all the way, but you just have to be comfortable with it, comfortable with knowing that that's your body.

I am happy and I'm Single

I don't have time to be lonely. And I get fearful of relationships because I feel guilty about wanting someone to be completely faithful and loyal, when I can't even give them 10 percent of the attention that they need. It's just the reality of my time, my life, my schedule.

The stylish kids on the street, they're the ones that set the trends. The designers see what they're doing and go and design their line and sell it back to the same kids, and it's like, why not go directly to the source?

Music is in my DNA!

I love reading people. I really enjoy watching, observing, and being able to figure out a person, the reason they wore that dress, the reason they smell the way they do.

The day I wake up without cellulite? Now that would be the perfect day.

Guys need attention. They need that nourishment, that little stroke of the ego that gets them by every now and then.

Oh my God - this is scary and sad all at the same time. I literally dream about buying my own groceries. Swear to God. Because it is something that is real and normal.

My mother would kill me if I posed nude! My mother raised me with certain standards.

I like to be creative.

Dancing was always part of my culture growing up in Barbados. When I shot my 1st video I worked really hard with my choreographer to perfect the routines.

Women feel empowered when they can do the things that are supposed to be only for men, you know? It breaks boundaries, it's liberating, and it's empowering when you feel like, 'Well, I can do that, too.'

I don't have anything to hide.

I have such incredible experiences in my life.

At first, I didn't really use anything in the social network world. I was so anti-social network, which is kind of ironic. I actually first started on a chat room on my fan site.

People take the little bit of information they're fed, and they draw a picture of who you are. Most of the time, it's wrong.

My jewelry's all fake - from Claire's. Or I get it from my mom's boutique in Barbados.

That's all I could ever hope for, to have a positive effect on women. 'Cos women are powerful, powerful beings. But they're also the most doubtful beings. They'll never know - we'll never know - how powerful we are.

All my favorite artists and fashion icons and models are from the Nineties. Everybody was just so fearless.

Steven Spielberg was my childhood hero.

If you're performing music that is not who you are or where you're at, it is painful. It's painful for the performer and for the audience.
