Santigold quotes:

I love watching movies. It breaks up the monotony of the road and momentarily takes you somewhere else.

But 'Sixteen Candles' is the only movie I could watch over and over and over without getting sick of it.

I've just been learning how to direct my own videos, choreography, doing costumes... every creative opportunity there is with my music I've taken.

I get inspiration from movies, from fashion, then completely random things you'd never think of.

I hate musicals, especially film musicals.

I've been doing transcendental meditation every day on the road, and it's one of the best things I've ever done.

I feel like good music comes and goes in waves.

Pop stars are sending the message that their sexuality is the strongest thing they have to offer, and that's confusing and misleading to girls and women, especially since there's not enough of a counterbalance from those who rely on their other assets, like their music. Also, with the new obsession with all things "booty," it's important that women - and it's often women of color - aren't turned into mere caricatures. Right now it's: "Bend over." That's all people want to see. That's crazy. It's so far from where we should be.
