Women need to have a perspective. If we’re out here saying that we’re so confident, and we’re so this and so that, but we don’t even trust ourselves to write down our own thoughts and spit it on a beat? It just doesn’t add up.

It's a great feeling to not box yourself into anyone’s limitations or ideas or judgments.
