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.

Everything is about balance. You can't work, work, work, work without any play.

As a businesswoman you have to be open. I'm always open to listening and learning and considering. However, I don't look at business as anything other than a partnership. And in any partnership both parties need to leave the table happy.

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.

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.
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

Janelle Monae
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
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 always feel the need to give the unfiltered truth, (or) what I think is the truth, at least.
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 love great music and if it doesn't move me I don't listen to it.
Janelle Monae
Embrace what makes you unique, even if it makes others uncomfortable.
Janelle Monae
I wanna scream and dream and throw a love parade / Is that okay?
