As I got older, I started to do it more and more, and I wanted to learn all of the different types. I grew up doing modern, so I wanted to learn ballet, tap, jazz, and African - just everything.

More quotes by Jillian Hervey
It's so important to embrace what you have because if you don't, that can be the root of very self-destructive habits, which I think people waste a lot of energy on.
Jillian Hervey
I quit piano and violin because it felt too rigid. It was just my thing, something I fell in love with from a very early age.
Jillian Hervey
That experience of being in the wild in a place where life initially began for all creatures gave me a overwhelming sense of connection.
Jillian Hervey
The women in my family are just strong women who do their own thing, so I knew I needed to have individuals like that.
Jillian Hervey
Even growing up, if I dealt with any pressure to be a certain way, I knew that as an artistic lane, dancing was the one that was a little more freed up - like no one in my family is really doing that, I can be that person.
Jillian Hervey
I think the world tries to put people in a box, like this is the only appropriate way to be beautiful.
Jillian Hervey
There are probably still people that are competitive with each other, but I don't feel that's necessary. I like when we lift each other up.

In New York everyone just kind of knows each other.

I love the creation process [of music] of it and then sharing it, so I think that was the shift. I never thought I was going to be on a label in general, I was like 'Oh, I wouldn't do that,' and then we ended up on the same label basically.
Jillian Hervey
Back then, it's weird, because I wasn't consciously thinking about it and I think that's why the doors opened and I had the opportunity. It was a big shift and I realized that you can plan and think your life is going somewhere, but you also have to surrender to what opportunities present themselves and really go for those as well.

I'm totally into the emotional aspect of things.

I had been with a guy for seven years and I was done with that. I wanted to reinvent my whole life and change my hair - I'd had brown, straight extensions forever - and I just wanted to get rid of that, to shed skin, and really just be independent.

I was working on a piece for one of the things I was dancing to and I needed to have original music. I didn't know where to begin, I'm so bad at computers, and I remembered that he actually made music. I asked Astro Raw if he'd be interested in scoring and he said yes.
Jillian Hervey
This is what I love to do. I love to perform for people that get it or just want something interesting.
Jillian Hervey
Architects see the world a certain way, and cooks see and smell the world a certain way. [Dancing ] is always been my lens, what I use to see.
Jillian Hervey
I think with the '70s style, you can do a bigger curling iron, so you get those long swirls. If you want it natural-natural, you can also just brush your hair out and tease that. So, it varies on what kind of thing you want to do, but it's nice to have a couple more hands in there to help me or else it takes really long.
Jillian Hervey
I would feel weird having someone style me. It would have to be a collaboration. I've had those experiences and every time it happens I don't feel good. What's the point of putting all this work into something and then when you present it, it's not you?
Jillian Hervey
In general, I think the best thing to do is to connect with other females. I love meeting other female artists and feeling like we're all rooting for each other. I think that's shifted even more.
Jillian Hervey
Making that statement of 'I'm not afraid to be untamed.' It's just kind of the marriage of those two things.
Jillian Hervey
Both of my mom's parents were music teachers, so I was hearing the fundamentals of playing the piano, what notes are, and all those things very early on.
