"My father is a very conservative Italian man, and I'm a very liberal, eccentric artist. We don't always see eye to eye, but he loves me."

"I'm an artist. My job is to create. My job is to express. My job is to inspire."

"I want to make music that makes people dance and cry at the same time."

"I want to be remembered as someone who was authentic. Someone who was fearless. Someone who was true to herself."

"I want to create a space where everyone feels safe to be themselves. A space where everyone feels celebrated."
