You got to learn when to be the bigger person, especially in the entertainment business.
— Justine Skye
I'm a Virgo, so I'm a super hard lover. I fall in love so quickly!
It's kinda hard to date as an artist because you're all over the place, and your significant other may seem jealous, depending on what they're doing.
I surrounded myself with a lot of different creative people and ambitious people.
I'm not just a pretty face. I want to pursue something.
It takes a lot for you to find your confidence, but you shouldn't let someone else be the person to find it for you.
New York has definitely turned into more of, like, a hipster place.
I like L.A., but I'm definitely a Brooklyn girl; I'm a city girl. I need the cars honking. I need the bright lights. I need people yelling in the middle of the night screaming at each other. I need all of that.
If I'm going to a fancy event, I try to be princess-like.
I love to glow, and it's important for me to have a good highlighter to brighten up.
My mom never let me dye my hair, and I would beg her every single day. When I was 16, I told her I wanted to dye it purple, and she let me - probably because she never thought I'd actually do it. Then I just stuck with it.
When the Rocawear team reached out and wanted to make me the face of La Belle Roc, I was super excited!
My hair color is super important to my look because I feel like it helps kind of define who I am. It's like a characteristic of mine that makes me feel comfortable and different from the rest.
I'm pretty sure we've all had a situation where a certain ex or person finds their way back in your life. I've realized that it's not about dwelling over it and overthinking.
Fashion has always been an important part of my life.
To me, being a black woman and being beautiful are not mutually exclusive.
One time I tried bangs, and people just weren't feeling it at all, but it's my hair. It's my unicorn mane, and it's definitely very important to me. It's also my body, and so I don't really care about other people's opinion of it.
When you're arguing with a fool, you're the fool for even going back and forth.
Everyone that's come into my life, everything that has happened, has been a part of the plan. It's not even about being in the industry or becoming more popular; it's just about growing and outgrowing some people.
Who knows, maybe I'll be a basketball player one day? No, I'm definitely never going to be a basketball player. I have no hand-eye coordination.
I'm confident in who I am, and I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm just being myself: being comfortable with my body, comfortable with my sound, and I'm figuring out who I am.
My hair is purple, and unicorns mean a lot to me. They're unique, rare, majestic, and beautiful, and I think those are some things that I embody. I wasn't always confident, and so once I gained my confidence, I was like, 'I'm a unicorn, and I don't care what anybody says.' My fans are unicorns, too. I like to call them my 'unicorn nation.'
When I was working on 'Everyday Living,' I was going through a breakup.
My family is from Flatbush, but I grew up in Fort Greene-Clinton Hill area.
I used to sing SWV's 'Weak' every day when people would ask me to sing.
As artists, we have the luxury of experimenting with extra crazy things, but I feel like my aesthetic is very street-style and high-low.
Every time I've been around Beyonce, I get so nervous that I forget how to speak English.
I always support my friends.
I'm a purple girl!
The-Dream was like my diary. I would sit there and talk his ear off about all my guy situations; he would just turn my stories into songs.
I use Manic Panic to dye my hair. Sometimes I do it myself.
Before I go to bed, I twist my hair so it doesn't get knotted by morning and cover it with a silk scarf so it stays moisturized. In addition, I tend to wash my hair around once a week or every two weeks, depending on what I'm doing with it.
I want to be a legend.
My hair is always going to be purple; that's kind of my thing. It doesn't matter what length I make it, as long as it's purple.
I definitely look up to Rihanna. She doesn't care what anyone thinks of her, and she's not afraid of taking risks and trying different things, whether it's fashion or music. She's all about what makes her comfortable.
A lot of people love to throw the social climber thing at people who are on the rise, but it's really just God moving all the people that are distractions, all the obstacles, out of the way for me to achieve what I'm destined to achieve.
You want to accomplish everything; there's no limits to what you want to do. You want to do movies. You want to do modeling. You want to be an entrepreneur - you want to enter every aspect of the entertainment business.
I believe I'm a unicorn. Unicorns are very magical and powerful and strong.
I express myself a lot on Tumblr, especially through my diary entries, but my Instagram is my modeling portfolio. I have my game face on at all times.
I thought that the music industry was going to be pretty easy - getting features and stuff - and everyone was going to be nice. But I realized that it's really, really hard to get features.
When I'm in L.A., I kind of go crazy in the middle of the night when it's, like, completely quiet.
I never leave anywhere without my watch because it's a very special gift given to me by one of my managers.
Makeup and fashion are a very blatant way of expressing who you are because it's the first thing people see. With music, it's more personal, where people really are trying to get into your head and learn about who you are.
Drake is a lyrical genius, and he's great with melodies, and Pharrell is an amazing producer and songwriter.
As a young adult, we all go through things now on social media. It's a part of our everyday lives.
Being a part of the Dark and Lovely family is an honor. As a dark and lovely girl, I love what they stand for, and I love that they make products for women of color.
Jeremih is a dope artist.
Everyone's a taste-maker.
I embrace my darker skin - always have, always will. In addition, I believe black women have always been trailblazers and trendsetters. Acknowledgement or not, we are and always have been beautiful.
I'm trying to make history.
