I hope my music and my story make people believe in themselves a little bit more.

I want to empower people to not be afraid to take risks and chase their dreams.

My legacy will be the example I set for the next generation of women.

My influence is about teaching people that you can be anything you want to be.

I want to leave a legacy of empowerment and inspiration.

Mental health is just as important as physical health.

It’s okay to not be okay. Just take your time and heal.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.

I work hard to achieve everything I’ve earned.

There’s no shortcut to success. It takes work, persistence, and dedication.

Success is all about hard work, resilience, and staying focused on your goals.

I embrace my femininity and my strength.

Being a woman means being unapologetically you.

Women are the backbone of this world. And we should never forget that.

Being a woman is the ultimate power.

I love wearing things that make me feel powerful.

Fashion is just another way to say who you are without speaking.

I want my style to be fun and experimental.

Clothes aren’t going to change the world, but the women who wear them will.

Fashion is about something that comes from within.

Love is about trusting each other. If you don’t have that, it’s not real love.

Fame is not what people think it is. It’s not as glamorous as people make it out to be.

I don’t need someone to complete me, but it’s nice to have someone by my side.

If I’m wearing a top, I don’t wear a bra. If I’m wearing a bra, I just wear a bra.

Guys need attention. They need that nourishment, that little stroke of the ego that gets them by every now and then.

The key to a relationship is communication.

I’ve always been a romantic. I love love.

Honestly, I’ve been thinking lately about how boring I am. When I do get time to myself, I watch TV.

Success for me isn’t a destination it’s a journey. Everybody’s working to get to the top but where is the top? It’s all about working harder and getting better and moving up and up.

All my favorite artists and fashion icons and models are from the Nineties. Everybody was just so fearless.

Love is a beautiful thing, but it also requires work.

I was very lost. I have to say I felt really confused. I hate talking about it but it [Chris Brown break up] was really crazy because I felt so out of touch with myself and when that happens… It’s scary because nothing you say or do feels like it’s you… You just lose touch of everything that you love and everything that you would normally do; how you would dress or how you would say something… It just feels like it’s not coming from you. It’s just this one empty vase. I felt like an empty vessel.

It’s like you’re screaming but no one can hear. You almost feel ashamed that someone could be that important, that without them, you feel like nothing. No one will ever understand how much it hurts. You feel hopeless, like nothing can save you. And when it’s over and it’s gone, you almost wish that you could have all that bad stuff back so you can have the good.

I’d love to date somebody cool, fun, funny.

I like to be creative.

Eventually, I remember waking up one day and I knew I was over it. One day. I remember I was in New York at the Trump Hotel and I woke up and I just knew I was over it… It was a different day. I felt different. I didn’t feel lonely. I felt like I wanted to get up and be in the world. That was a great, great feeling.

When I’m on stage, that’s when I feel the most free.

I never play the victim, I’d rather be a stalker.

I don’t follow trends. I set them.

I am a child but I have to think and act like a woman, this business forces you to.

Artistry is not about pleasing anyone, it’s about expressing yourself.

Women feel empowered when they can do the things that are supposed to be only for men, you know? It breaks boundaries, it’s liberating, and it’s empowering when you feel like, ‘Well, I can do that, too.’

I hate how much I love you.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips excite me.

When I won the first Grammy, there was no other feeling like that feeling. It just made me feel like I came so far, like that was just a dream a few years before that, and then it was happening right then.

Music is the soundtrack to your life.

Your love was breaking the law.

If I ever go to West Africa, it would probably be for a free concert. I would want to do something for the people there. Maybe we can make a whole event, the way Bob Marley would have done it. Just for the people. And if they climb over the gate, let them climb over the gate.

When a door closes you have two choices: give up, or keep going.

When I cut my hair, the whole sound changed, my style changed.

You just have to be confident and own it.

You’ve got your demons and she’s got her regrets.

Making music is like shopping for me. Every song is like a new pair of shoes.

Sometimes it takes a thousand tries to win.

Dancing was always part of my culture growing up in Barbados. When I shot my 1st video I worked really hard with my choreographer to perfect the routines.

Beauty is about being comfortable in your own skin.

Lips that felt just like the inside of a rose.

I threw my hands in the air and said show me something. He said, “if you dare come a little closer.

Ask God for forgiveness, and leave your regrets in the past!

Robyn is who I am. Rihanna – that’s an idea of who I am.

Confidence is everything, really. It’s what makes you feel good about yourself.

All my haters so so broke.

If I cry, it’s because I’m very angry and I can’t do anything about it because I’ve run into a dead end. That’s when the tears would come down.

Single life is so overrated. It sucks.

I drink a lot of coconut water. It balances out all the other toxic stuff I put into my body.

You have to be strong. And be able to take criticism.

Chasin’ this American Dream, we sweat for a nickel and a dime.

Find light in the beautiful sea. I choose to be happy.

You can’t master your future if you’re still a slave to your past.

I’m not generally a sensitive person, but I tend to be more sensitive toward others and what they’re going through. I don’t know if that’s the healthiest thing, but it’s the truth.

I’ve learned that you can’t please everyone, so don’t try.

Feel a little more and give a little less.

My body is weird. I wake up when the sun comes up, and it’s hard for me to go to sleep. My thoughts just take over.

Spend time with people who know how to use their days well. Just as iron sharpens iron, positive people will inspire you to be positive.

I don’t do things for the response or for the controversy. I just live my life.

When you’re feeling stuck, remember it’s a season. Seasons change.

I was hurt the most. Nobody felt what I felt… It happened. It happened to me… It was embarrassing. It was humiliating. It was hurtful. I lost my best friend… Everything I knew, was switched in a night

I could never give relationship advice to anybody!

Keep your eyes on the finish line and not on the turmoil around you.

I take risks because I get bored. And I get bored very easily.

I’m not a role model, I’m just me.

I bet she could never make you cry ’cause the scars on your heart are still mine.

I just love working with Eminem. He’s just one of my favorite rappers, and his lyrics – he’s a true poet, and I enjoy that about him.

Don’t lower your standards for anything or anyone.

Music is in my DNA!

I’m not a person who is afraid of challenges.

All this terrible stuff they say to you, it breaks you down. [But] once you’re back on your feet — if you ever make it back on your feet — that’s the ultimate achievement.

I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it.

I’m crazy and I don’t pretend to be anything else.

Eff love. Come out of the situation and look at it third person.

I’m not afraid to take risks. Life’s too short to not take chances.

I don’t ever want to have to depend on a relationship. I want to make sure that I find other things in life that I love besides… love.

I was so rude when I was a little girl.

I play by my own rules so please think twice before you step into my life.

If you don’t live your life, then who will?

You may never be good enough for everybody, but you will always be good enough for yourself.

Feel like a brand new person, (But you’ll make the same old mistakes).

Never a failure,always a lesson.

I’m only as good as my team, I love you guys so much.

I always believed that when you follow your heart or your gut, when you really follow the things that feel great to you, you can never lose, because settling is the worst feeling in the world.

The most important thing is to be yourself. And never let anyone tell you not to be yourself

The minute you learn to love yourself, you would not want to be anybody else.

People gonna talk whether you doing bad or good.

We found love in a hopeless place.

When you realize who you live for, and who’s important to please, a lot of people will actually start living. I am never going to get caught up in that. I’m gonna look back on my life and say that I enjoyed it – and I lived it for me.
