“I've always been very insecure and had a lot of self-doubt growing up....” — Kali Uchis Quote

“I've always been very insecure and had a lot of self-doubt growing up. That was partially because of how I was raised.”

“When you're an artist, you're working, literally, for the sole purpose of art, and when people discredit you, it's probably the most disrespectful thing you can do.”

“Some of my writing is very subconscious, and that's definitely what happened with 'Body Language' - I looped some basic bossa nova sounds and just started singing.”

“My father is my hero. No matter what, I'll always forgive him.”

“I just like stuff that's raw, itself, real and genuine. I think that's the way art should be. That's the kind of stuff that people can connect to more.”

“There's no particular method or course of action that I take in order to decide who I'm going to work with besides feeling complete and total respect and admiration for that artist.”

“I don't know how to really talk about this, but... if you're an insecure, shy, flustered person and you're put in all these social anxiety-inducing situations, it's quite hard to get through them and be likeable.”

“Being an actress hasn't made me insecure. I was insecure long before I declared I was an actress.”

“I am not an insecure person. For me, insecurity comes when something I do does not come across the way I thought it would. It would come if I had nothing more to say as an actor. I have a long way to go!”

“I want everybody to succeed. It's just part of who I am. I probably do that with my kids tenfold. I'm as insecure as the next person, but it doesn't ever take me over.”

“I was always insecure about the way I looked.”

“I am quite an insecure person, and I think that, like any director, if I'm asked about my vision for a piece, I feel very vulnerable.”
