“I never dress for the occasion correctly because I hate fashion rules....” — Charli XCX Quote

“I never dress for the occasion correctly because I hate fashion rules. They're so boring.”

“There are days where I can go into a room full of people, talk to every single person, and feel completely at ease, and feel like making every single person laugh, and feel like everyone's having a great time. There are other times where I go into a room of people, and I literally want to run and hide.”

“I'm not good at being a picture-perfect pop star, happy all the time. If I'm having a bad day, I can't pretend. I'm always a bit unhappy, but that's just me. I like dwelling in my sadness.”

“I'll listen to 3 artists on repeat for more than a month.”

“I never set out to be a cult cool artist. I always made music that I thought was pop.”

“I always Google myself. It's horrible.”

“God gives different people different gifts, and there are some people that can listen to an instrument and within a fraction of a second tell, you know, where it's off key or what note doesn't resonate correctly.”

“I always thought acting was all lights, camera, action. It's a job; you have to do your job correctly.”

“As a black actress you've got to work doubly hard. But it doesn't ever get me to the point where I give up on myself. It just motivates me to be more prepared, focus and disciplined. That's why I care so much about doing black films and making sure that we represent and are represented correctly.”

“If you don't do the suspense correctly, then your jump scares are not going to work.”

“I just like to have words that describe things correctly. Now to me, 'black feminist' does not do that. I need a word that is organic, that really comes out of the culture, that really expresses the spirit that we see in black women. And it's just... womanish.”
