“Especially when I'm nervous, my mind is running a mile a minute. My AD...” — SZA Quote

“Especially when I'm nervous, my mind is running a mile a minute. My ADHD speaks for me before I can speak for me.”

“I don't listen to my music if I'm not making it.”

“I don't like to shop. It creates so much anxiety.”

“I feel like when you say 'activist,' you have to have so much clarity, and I don't always necessarily have so much clarity on how I want to help others, I just have this weird, deep urge to help other people. I'm trying to let God guide my body and use it as whatever kind of vehicle or vessel it needs to be.”

“My mom is a Pan-Africanist. My dad is still Orthodox Sunni Muslim, but he's super fun. He worked in television for years. He was a Black Panther.”

“I used to be offended when people would compare me to Erykah Badu. Because I'm black, thick, and have large lips? There's nothing similar about us whatsoever, and I felt very disrespected by the fact that people needed to pigeonhole me. I wasn't even raised on Erykah Badu!”

“The problem stems from the ADHD. The nutty behavior. You have got all this energy going and you can't focus on anything. It's like games at school - like football. I couldn't play because I couldn't understand the rules. I couldn't get offside. I just couldn't take in the rules.”

“I was a very focused kid. I always had this crazy lifestyle... billions of jobs, two hours of gymnastics every day, handball, anything with a ball, really. I must have had ADHD or something. I was very energetic, and very small. I didn't start growing until the last year of high school.”

“I wasn't good in school. I definitely have ADHD and don't do anything about it.”

“I've got ADHD, and my whole life, people thought I was some kind of troublemaker because I had all this energy.”

“I was diagnosed with ADHD twice. I didn't believe the first doctor who told me, and I had a whole theory that ADHD was just something they invented to make you pay for medicine, but then the second doctor told me I had it.”
