More quotes by Janelle Monae
I love Fun. They're great guys. They're incredible artists and musicians.
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.
Janelle Monae
I love the mystery behind things.
Janelle Monae
I wanna scream and dream and throw a love parade / Is that okay?
Janelle Monae
I always think about the next generation and creating a different blueprint for them. That's my goal: to let them know there's another way.
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
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 will not be a slave to my image, nor will I be a slave to anyone else's interpretations of me.
Janelle Monae
You cannot police me, so get off my areola
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
Everything is about balance. You can't work, work, work, work without any play.
Janelle Monae
I've cried over string arrangements.
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
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
Perfection is often the enemy of greatness.
Janelle Monae
I feel like Harriet Tubman, except I am trying to free people through underground music, to free themselves creatively and inspirationally.
Janelle Monae
I'm inspired by the words: 'electrifying', 'epic', 'minimalistic', 'transcendent', 'timeless' and 'rock n' roll.'
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
Some songs you get. Some songs you may not. And I think that's the beauty of art: to question and to ask, to understand the deeper meaning after two or three or four listenings.
Janelle Monae
Embrace what makes you unique, even if it makes others uncomfortable.
