Angie Martinez

I like to be a peacekeeper, and I just don't believe in stirring up conflict. ”

The beauty about my career is that none of it was really calculated. ”

I think I'm like the kid who loved hip hop, and all of a sudden - I don't know what it was - it started to put me in positions to do great things. ”

It's always interesting to talk to people's moms or sisters or wives. It gives you a different perspective of somebody that everybody already thinks they knew. ”

When I was 16, my mother moved me out of Brooklyn and sent me to Florida to stay with my family for a little bit because I was being bad, not going to school and stuff. ”

I always want to represent being in the moment, staying honest, and being comfortable in my skin. ”

Tupac was real and honest about every question I asked. ”

There's something beautiful in being who you are and being comfortable with whatever your voice is. ”

Whenever I think I'm going to get certain information out of a person, it's never as effective or comfortable as just having an open conversation, listening to them, being present, and being open to hearing something I didn't even know they were going to say. ”

I like Chance The Rapper a lot. ”
