Bebe Rexha

Straight Outta Compton' was such a great movie, and obviously, I'm in the music business, so getting to see that piece of history was amazing, and it was an incredible movie. ”

I was very obsessed with my music, and I think that, as a young girl, I really wanted to get into this business, and I don't think my parents really knew how to protect me. ”

I just want to be myself and be real and be funny. ”

It's weird to me when an artist comes in, and the label says, 'We want him to sound like Chris Brown,' but he says he wants to sound like Sean Paul. There's a huge disconnect - it's like we're making a product. ”

I don't really want to make this sound depressing, but I will say that I didn't really have my first kiss until really, really late. ”

My favorite artists are Kanye West, Jay Z, the Fugees, Lauryn Hill, Destiny's Child. ”

Music changes so fast, and we're in a singles market. ”

We don't wake up happy and looking absolutely perfect and feeling amazing every day, you know? We're only human. So I think, with me, I'm not really scared to let people see that - because it's real. ”

I went through that stage of the Mumford & Sons and the Alanis Morissette vibe. I was in a dark place at the time. ”

I grew up in the era of Britney Spears, where artists had songs written for them, and you got up and sang them. That's how I always thought it was. ”
