00:00Art to me is the most incredible way to talk about the world, to talk about our issues,
00:05to talk about what we have to change, what we're fighting for, what we're fighting to do differently.
00:11And it's a beautiful way to bring us all together in a language that we all understand.
00:30Dream is just that, to never let anybody tell you that you can't.
00:43People will try to always say you can't do something, but that is not true. They don't know anything.
01:00Music is a crazy influence in all of our lives. Isn't that what's just so magical about it?

04:36New York has always been a character in all my stories and the energy of New York, there's nothing like it.
04:41The vibrancy, the grit, the swag, the smell, the lights, the garbage.
04:57All of these things, they make me write good songs and why would I go anywhere else?

06:04These girls, they represent all the girls that are kept from education.
06:07They represent all the girls that are viewed as property.

07:12For me personally, I feel like the biggest, biggest thing is to respect yourself.
07:17You have to, you have to respect yourself because if you evoke that respect for yourself then others have no choice but to respect you.
