"I'm in my diamond era. Like, what I came in as an icy girl, but through all this pressure that I placed on myself and all the pressure that I've experienced with the industry, I feel like it's pressurized me into this, this diamond that's ready to shine." — Soedie
"I think that when you are someone that is, you know yourself, like, and what it took and everything. And then you read like the bullshit. And it's such a bullshit, you're like, wait, this is what I'm reduced to right now." — Soedie
"I think sexual energy and creative energy comes from the same place and when you confuse the energy, you can sometimes, you know, make I wouldn't say the wrong decision, but you can lean in more into the sexual energy, but then that really takes away the creative energy because you've already depleted the energy." — Alex Cooper
