Quotes
“Being a gal, people can be a bit patronizing. ‘Oh, look at you using the computer.’ They would never say that to a boy. And I don’t let them do it to me.”
— FKA Twigs
“I’m in so many videos. There was a period of about two years where I danced for everyone: Kylie Minogue, Ed Sheeran, Jessie J, Taio Cruz. It got to the point where my fees were double the other girls’, and I wouldn’t even have to audition. They’d call my agent directly and say, ‘We want twigs to come in.’”

“I’m appealing to people who want something different, but the world, on the whole, doesn’t really embrace different things. Not on the whole.”

“It’s really easy to project this whole ideology of what being an artiste is, and I’m just not down with intellectualizing it. I just think, if you feel like doing something, then do it.”
