I was actually supposed to be a basketball player, not an actress. My parents had me playing basketball on competitive teams when I was in kindergarten. Even though my heart belongs to the arts, I'm a tomboy at heart, too.

My generation has the opportunity to change the world.
Zendaya
Just try. Try to try.

Get a good jean, a good tee, a good whatever because you can just switch that stuff up and you have like 8,000 different outfits with a few things.
Zendaya
Don't try so hard to fit in, and certainly don't try so hard to be different just try hard to be you.
Zendaya
[Diversity] is the future. You can't stop it. It's going where it's going, so I choose to be with the future.
Zendaya
I have an obsession with just watching people and what they're into.
Zendaya
I think women are very powerful and I think we're more powerful together than separated.
Zendaya
We are the people and America is really nothing without the people. We have to take control and we have realize as young people that this is our future. We have to live here and this where we'll one day raise our own children.
Zendaya
I’m one of those people who doesn’t follow trends. I set them.
Zendaya
I've always dressed myself, even when I was younger. My parents didn't pick out my clothes or anything. They let me do that, which I think is an important thing because it allows for kids to experiment and figure out what they like, even at a young age.
Zendaya
I'm very inspired by a lot of things from the past, from Cher to Diana Ross.
Zendaya
I think a lot of women can see themselves in me and a lot of people in general are empowered by seeing someone wear what they want, do what they want, maybe get criticism or get praise, whatever, but still continue to wear and do what they want. I think that a lot of people need that.
Zendaya
I do not believe in a label on a shirt or a dress should tell me that I can't wear a T-shirt or a pant because it should say women'sor men's on it, you know? That's just not how it should work.
Zendaya
I have a really strong passion for what I do. I don’t see myself doing anything else.
Zendaya
To me, America is a symbol of all different views, different types of people coming together.
Zendaya
Other than the obvious, like Cher and Diana Ross, I actually find a lot of inspiration from time periods. So it's not necessarily people, it's the essence of the time period, whether it be the '90s or the '70s or the '40s. The specific time and what vibe it gave you, what the emotion of that time was, and trying to get that emotion again.
Zendaya
To me, locs are a symbol of strength and beauty, almost like a lion's mane.
Zendaya
Well, I am not sure of when my album will be released but my music has a lot of different sounds. I'm a hip-hop/R&B girl at heart, but I love pop music as well, and I even have an affinity for country music. So I would say my music might have something for everyone.
Zendaya
With anything, you have to approach from an educational, mature standpoint.
Zendaya
I want my mom to be able to wear my clothes, I want my older sister to be able to wear my clothes, and the people in my life aren't necessarily built like I am, you know? They're built in a million different beautiful bodies, shapes, and sizes, and so why would I exclude anybody from being able to have it? This is the point.
