I like to dress in edgy black leather and denim, but I like a wide range of things.

Even the fact that I labelled myself makes me mad sometimes, because dude, I'm just a free spirit.

When we all start to wake up and realize that our comforts are fleeting, and more money is never going to save this world, maybe, just maybe, will we be able to return back to the grace of America's principal values.

Kids would tell me I was fat and say other mean things about my body.

When I was in fifth grade, I got bullied really nastily about my appearance.

For me, I love Marc Anthony a lot. He's one of my dad's favorite artists, and I listened to him a lot growing up.

I was raised to feel that I can do anything, and I will always believe that.

We're not all thin model types, and we're not all perfectly colored. It mind-boggles me that somebody would take time out of their life to make someone feel inferior because of something like that. That, to me, is insane.

Growing up in Miami, being Cuban is integrated into our culture. When we greet anyone, we give them a kiss on the cheek.

We're learning the business, meeting people we need to know, getting knowledgeable about our craft.

I feel like people make such a big deal out of sexuality. It's so weird to me, because at the end of the day, it's just about soul connection. It's just about who you connect with.

We had so many of our fans tell us how worthless they felt before they found out about us and watched our interviews and listened to our music.

Honestly, like, I fall in love with souls, and I don't really even see anything but that, to be honest.

I went to a high school that taught me to be more worldly. The whole curriculum was very globally based. We learned a lot about other cultures and reflected on them.

I am proud to be the granddaughter and daughter of immigrants who were brave enough to leave their homes and come to a whole new world with a different language and culture and immerse themselves fearlessly to start a better life for themselves and their families.

I am proud to be a woman.

Doing something that is your passion, in my case related to music and art, being a performer playing shows around the world, that is a dream come true.

I've been outspoken forever about everything.

I've always had this sense of justice - I get that from my mom, for sure. When you see stuff that's wrong, it's just wrong, man. You gotta point that out.

I needed our fans to know they're loved and accepted, and fear isn't the way to go.

It's hard to accept yourself when you live in a world where nobody is like you, or you feel like nobody is like you because there's no representation.

I love Celia Cruz - she was also a huge part of my childhood. She's an iconic woman.

I'm proud of myself, and I'm going to continue to grow.

Two powerful women making art together is always really cool.
