I want to show every part of me and every color of me. And I think, growing up Albanian, I wanted to bring that to light.

What you start learning is that to get over a breakup, you kind of have to live through the emotions and not run away from it because then it lasts longer.

If you're in a dark place, you're there for a reason. And the only way to get through to those kids or to other people going through the same thing is really to meet them in that dark place and then slowly bring them to the light.

I think that the music industry is such an interesting place, and there are so many situations that people don't know about.

Nicki Minaj is a very strong woman who knows exactly what she wants. As an artist, I understand her, and I could see how she could be misunderstood by a lot of people, but she is really passionate about her art, and that's something I really admire about her.

I was a Versace perfume girl at Saks Fifth Avenue, and Rihanna actually came up to the counter and asked for something. And she wouldn't even take her sunglasses off! She was so mean to me. Not mean, but, like, guarded. I don't blame her, though.

I'm constantly hydrating my hair.

I never thought of myself as a songwriter. I was just an artist writing songs, and they just happened to get placed.

I want people to be happy.

I turned sadness into an anthem for not letting anything or anyone slow you down.

I was the girl that didn't go to prom or my graduation because I was too busy working with producers and making music.

I'm very tomboy, and I'm inspired by hip hop artists.
