I'm going to go out on tour when I feel like going on tour.
— Chrisette Michele
I used to be so afraid to say what I really think.
A female piano player is always pretty cool to me.
My ears sort of turn off when someone tells me that what my heart is saying isn't a good idea.
It doesn't take a year to sing a song. Takes a year for people to figure out how to market it.
Lately though I've been in love with myself and I've become my own best friend.
The truth is an artist like me who doesn't get the type of promotion that we see more commercial artists receive, and especially in this climate of the music business, you have to be creative about how you promote yourself.
When I was in school I used to prank my teachers all the time. But I was really, really nice. I love to make people laugh. And even in those pranks, the teachers would laugh most of the time.
I have epiphanies all the time, because I'm always thinking. I'm a thinker. I'm always writing poetry, I'm always coming to conclusions.
My shaven head is my way of saying 'I wont take no for an answer,' it is my way of saying 'I believe in my creativity and artistry.'
I like Bloomingdales, and I like a store called Scoop.
I think everything that happens in life we're prepared for in ways we really don't really know.
People are mean and hateful, angry - haters everywhere, stupid blogs.
I'm an advocate of music in schools. It's important to me that music is in as many schools as possible across this country and across the world. I think that it's a lost art form because kids aren't as exposed to it as maybe they used to be, or should be. I was exposed heavily to jazz and that's why I love it.
Truth is, I cut my hair for freedom, not for beauty.
If you want to put out a song that you wrote yesterday, tomorrow go on Twitter, type in a new URL, and give it to the people!
I like trendy clothes just like everybody else does.
Meeting all the wonderful, new people and people appreciating my new music has been a really fun and blessed ride.
