"I never really necessarily liked being quiet." — Alessia Cara

It's so cool though when I see thirty-year-old men that are coming in to watch my shows. It's like, 'You really like my music? Like a teenage girl, you relate to it?' It just proves how much people are alike.

Realize that everyone that you think is perfect feels like they're not good enough, too.

I like to mimic accents. I don't even know if that's a talent. That's just a weird thing that I do.

I think the media can definitely show more diversity - different sizes of women, different colours of women, just more diversity in general.

It's important to show that there's different ways of doing things. Some people like to be glamorous, and that's perfectly fine, and that's amazing. If I were that style, then I would do that. I'd wear heels every day, and I'd strut around in a dress, but that's not me.

I see songs in colors; I see days of the week. Each day of the week I relate to a gender, and it's very weird. I can taste words sometimes. It's very strange.

I don't think a lot of artists have the freedom that I have when it comes to dressing in general.

I feel New York is too crazy for me, especially when you go to Times Square.
