More quotes by Janelle Monae
Embrace what makes you unique, even if it makes others uncomfortable.
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 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.

I will not be a slave to my image, nor will I be a slave to anyone else's interpretations of me.

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.'

Redefine what it means to be sexy and what it means to be a woman. Showing my skin is not what makes me sexy. I like skirts and dresses just like everyone else, but I had a message I needed to put out there. It was up to me to show people and young girls there was another way.
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
I love Fun. They're great guys. They're incredible artists and musicians.
Janelle Monae
You cannot police me, so get off my areola
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 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.
Janelle Monae
I love the mystery behind things.
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
I was made to believe there's something wrong with me.
Janelle Monae
Honestly, I don’t believe in menswear. I focus on what pieces are most timeless, transcendent, match my lifestyle, remain remarkable, and command intriguing attention across the room at an art gallery.
Janelle Monae
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.
