I’m very light, so some people don’t really know that I’m black. I’ve been in situations where people will say something kind of racist, and I’ll step in, and they’ll be like, ‘Oh, well, you’re light.’ That still doesn’t cut it, buddy. Sofia Richie Read Quote

It’s funny: when I was a kid, my mom would reorganize the record collection all the time. She’d have classical, she’d have Celtic, she’d have rock and roll, and then she’d have female singers. And I don’t like it that female singers are their own genre. Grace Potter Read Quote
Boomf is the noise a marshmallow makes when it falls through your letterbox. James William Middleton Read Quote

When I lived in China, there were no libraries. My mother bought books for me, and they were mostly the classics. I read ‘Peter Pan,’ ‘The Secret Garden,’ the ‘Rosemary’ books, and Kipling’s ‘Just So’ Stories was one of my favorites. No, I didn’t read historical fiction. It didn’t exist where I was growing up in China. Jean Fritz Read Quote
I was super-obsessed with cover videos. When I was, like, 10, I would come home from school and watch them from 4 o’clock until 8 o’clock every night. I was so intrigued that people took these super-popular songs and did them their own way. Shawn Mendes Read Quote
