“I want to be sure I'm being myself. I don't want to follow something b...” — MO Quote

I want to be sure I'm being myself. I don't want to follow something because someone's like 'do this, it's popular.'

I try not to spend too much time online but at the same time if I didn't, I'd be isolated.

I had everything you could collect. I had these Spice Girls postcards. I also had the stickers and Barbie girls. I had all five of them. I was a real fangirl. They were actually preaching some cool stuff, the thing about girl power and sticking together with your best girlfriends.

I'm a huge fan of the Moomins and my fans are called Momins. They're the best, so creative, talented and sweet - just like Moomins.

I think it's to do what's important to you, and having a lot of people - hopefully - listening to your work. It also involves being a credible artist, and being able to reach out to those who will buy into it for some other reason. But on a more personal level, success comes from having many close and strong relationships.

I'm just really excited to expose people to different identities, different conversations but also to kind of reframe how they think about black women just by being myself.

I can't tone it down. I'm being me, and I'm being myself, and I'd be doing myself an injustice, and I'd be doing an injustice to those kids who don't feel like they're comfortable to be themselves.

When I started playing music, I was more of a character. Now I'm just me with a cool outfit on. I'm more comfortable being myself.

I'm just being myself. That's why I got problems all the time.
