Quotations for writers
“You know, Missy Elliott gave me incredible advice. She told me: 'If you’re waiting to be in those conversations, don’t wait, because you are your own conversation—you’re in your own lane. There’s nobody like you, and stick to that. That’s all you need.' I felt that so deeply. I’m going to go down in history as being me. And that’s incredible, because can’t nobody stand next to that.”—Lizzo, NY Times, May 2026
