I just think my own ambition would not allow me to sit on the gifts that my creator had given me. And so that's when I realized that I could actually go away.
From Janelle Monae
I'll refer to my music in color, like 'This song needs to be bright red.'
Children go with whatever makes them feel good - like if that's the color green or orange, they do that with their clothes. As I've grown older, everything reversed. My music, my personality - onstage those things became my colors.
It's a big universe. To stay in one tiny place is doing a disservice to yourself.
I'm attracted to things that scare me, like 'Psycho,' my favorite Hitchcock movie.
I believe that imagination inspires nations. It's something that I live by.
