I gave my life to this without knowing what I was doing. I was very little when I started in 5H: I was 16.

Two powerful women making art together is always really cool.

I'm proud of myself, and I'm going to continue to grow.

I love Celia Cruz - she was also a huge part of my childhood. She's an iconic woman.

It's hard to accept yourself when you live in a world where nobody is like you, or you feel like nobody is like you because there's no representation.

I needed our fans to know they're loved and accepted, and fear isn't the way to go.

I've always had this sense of justice - I get that from my mom, for sure. When you see stuff that's wrong, it's just wrong, man. You gotta point that out.

I've been outspoken forever about everything.

Doing something that is your passion, in my case related to music and art, being a performer playing shows around the world, that is a dream come true.

I am proud to be a woman.

I am proud to be the granddaughter and daughter of immigrants who were brave enough to leave their homes and come to a whole new world with a different language and culture and immerse themselves fearlessly to start a better life for themselves and their families.

I went to a high school that taught me to be more worldly. The whole curriculum was very globally based. We learned a lot about other cultures and reflected on them.

Honestly, like, I fall in love with souls, and I don't really even see anything but that, to be honest.

We had so many of our fans tell us how worthless they felt before they found out about us and watched our interviews and listened to our music.

I feel like people make such a big deal out of sexuality. It's so weird to me, because at the end of the day, it's just about soul connection. It's just about who you connect with.

We're learning the business, meeting people we need to know, getting knowledgeable about our craft.

Growing up in Miami, being Cuban is integrated into our culture. When we greet anyone, we give them a kiss on the cheek.

We're not all thin model types, and we're not all perfectly colored. It mind-boggles me that somebody would take time out of their life to make someone feel inferior because of something like that. That, to me, is insane.

I was raised to feel that I can do anything, and I will always believe that.

For me, I love Marc Anthony a lot. He's one of my dad's favorite artists, and I listened to him a lot growing up.

When I was in fifth grade, I got bullied really nastily about my appearance.

Kids would tell me I was fat and say other mean things about my body.

When we all start to wake up and realize that our comforts are fleeting, and more money is never going to save this world, maybe, just maybe, will we be able to return back to the grace of America's principal values.

Even the fact that I labelled myself makes me mad sometimes, because dude, I'm just a free spirit.

I like to dress in edgy black leather and denim, but I like a wide range of things.

When we auditioned for 'The X Factor,' we were five individuals going into the show. That obviously means we are five solo artists in our beings, so we have our own creative ideas, of what sounds the best music-wise, because we are all artists.

We all allow each other to explore our individual things that make us happy, and so we're just being supportive of each other and making sure we focus on Fifth Harmony, and what's important to the group is important to all five of us.

I just don't feel limited by genre.

Every time somebody asks me, 'Oh, when you mix your own music, what are you going to make?' And I don't know.

I really, genuinely don't look at my schedule too often, because when I do, I get a little overwhelmed by how much is going on.

As an artist, I don't care about where we are in the charts and all that. The important thing to me is to connect with a creative project.

I think that until we're 21, human beings don't get to know themselves very much.

I feel like art has been at the center of change since the beginning of time.

If you connect with an artist because of what they make as a body of work, you feel like they're your friend. You feel like you're on the journey of connection with them because they see the world the same way you do. That's so powerful, and if you use that, you can genuinely change minds.

Amandla Stenberg is so powerful in her energy and what she speaks about and what she projects. I think it's incredible.

It's truly disheartening to me to see so many beautiful women who have no idea what their potential is.

We have an energy about us that's so unique and so intense, and it's because of how much power we have in us as individuals, being confident, harnessing that power, and wanting to share that with other women.

Some of our songs are empowering, but I feel like more so than our music, it's who we are. We're four women who are completely different ethnicities, completely different body types, completely different walks of life and opinions.

I feel like, especially being around other girls, it's really easy to start picking yourself apart and being like, 'Wow, she looks better than me.'

We like that when girls look at us, they don't see perfect little blond-haired, blue-eyed Barbie dolls.

I have a lot of people in my life who support me.

I love every time that I get to be on a stage with Halsey. She's so incredible.

I'm so proud of my girl Kehlani. She and SZA are killing it.

I want to give the girls who admire us everything I can. I don't want to just fill them with selfies and crap. That's not what I'm about. I'm about, 'Be aware of the world and that you're not the only one in it.'

A lot of people talk, but they don't say anything. And people listen, and they don't absorb anything of substance.

We definitely work hard, and we want to keep our fans engaged... we want to give them new music.

That messed me up, growing up in the public eye when I was a teenager. That's when everyone is trying to find themselves.

There's this notion that artists are supposed to be dumb and frivolous. I completely disagree with that.

They sell you this present of rainbows and butterflies, and as a 16-year-old, that's what I bought. It's why I did 'X Factor' and why I ended up in a group. But then you're working so hard, so young.

I'm marching for women; I'm marching for the LGBT community. I'm marching for immigrants. I happen to fall into all three categories, so I'm marching for myself at the end of the day and for my family and my friends. And for whoever else deserves it.
