I won't sit here and say I've never had a pimple, but I try to have a really great diet, you know, lots of vegetables and fish. And I think stress plays a huge part too.

More quotes by Janelle Monae
I was made to believe there's something wrong with me.
Janelle Monae
I'm not a politician I'm an artist. So I always feel the need to give the unfiltered truth, (or) what I think is the truth, at least.
Janelle Monae
Perfection is often the enemy of greatness.
Janelle Monae
I'm not focused on being perfect. I like trial and error. You learn through uncomfortable experiences. And now I know what doesn't work for me, and I know what does.
Janelle Monae
Embrace what makes you unique, even if it makes others uncomfortable. i didn't have to become perfect because I've learned throughout my journey that perfection is the enemy of greatness.
Janelle Monae
You cannot police me, so get off my areola

Lauryn Hill, P-Funk, Marvin Gaye, Public Enemy - I have a very diverse palate for music. I can go from Judy Garland to Jimi Hendrix to Stevie Wonder to Rachmaninoff. I just love great music.

I don't do a lot of collaborations that I don't believe in. Actually, I don't do any collaborations that I don't believe in.
Janelle Monae
When you realize it's your responsibility to be a leader and create the world that you want to see, you have to do it.
Janelle Monae
I think if people genuinely want to help ... that'll shine through, no matter what color or what race. We cannot see race before compassion.
Janelle Monae
Part of what my music represents is to stand up and be the voice of those who feel like they are not heard and want to be treated with respect regardless of race, color, orientation - android, cyborg, whatever.
Janelle Monae
I'm always thinking about that young girl or young boy who doesn't quite know if their music, their messaging, their imaging, their voice is going to pop, if people are going to understand them. So I represent the other and those who feel like they don't even want to be normal. They embrace the things that make them unique.
Janelle Monae
I want people to know about these visionary artists. I want people to know what they stand for and (that) they are representing something unique, something fresh. I am just so excited about their careers.
Janelle Monae
I've cried over string arrangements.
Janelle Monae
I speak about androids because I think the android represents the new 'other.' You can compare it to being a lesbian or being a gay man or being a black woman ... What I want is for people who feel oppressed or feel like the 'other' to connect with the music and to feel like, 'She represents who I am.'
Janelle Monae
Everything is about balance. You can't work, work, work, work without any play.
Janelle Monae
I love Fun. They're great guys. They're incredible artists and musicians.
Janelle Monae
I always feel the need to give the unfiltered truth, (or) what I think is the truth, at least.
Janelle Monae
People in my family and camp who grew up listening to rap music love 'We Are Young.' I've heard it play at weddings. I've heard it in graduation parties. It's a big idea and big song.
