I found music when I was very dark. I felt unheard, with inner dialogues that I didn’t know how to express. – Jillian Rose Banks
I feel more comfortable being confrontational and authoritative. It’s important for women in this business. – Jillian Rose Banks
I definitely drink lots of water. I use this Decleor Neroli Oil to moisturize – no matter what the climate is, it always makes my skin really moist. – Jillian Rose Banks
I think doing things that scare you a little is a good thing. A little bit of fear is never a bad thing. A healthy amount of fear makes everything taste better. – Jillian Rose Banks
There are definitely a lot of creative people I want to work with. I wanna work with Drake! – Jillian Rose Banks
There’s no separation between electronic music and acoustic music. It’s all one thing. Each song has its own heartbeat. Each song has its own soul. – Jillian Rose Banks
Making music is an emotional thing. And when you’re on a video shoot with 50 people there, you have to somehow, in a non-emotional way, say what you want and not feel guilty for it. And that takes growing up and that takes… not caring how people perceive you as much. And it just takes experience, I think. – Jillian Rose Banks
Fashion is a huge part of music and of who you are. It really sets the mood for a show, and it’s fun to play around with it. You can get really creative in photo shoots as well. You know, just having fun with it. – Jillian Rose Banks
My music is inspired by my life: the people in my life, the people I have relationships with, the people I love, the people that make me feel something. – Jillian Rose Banks
My approach to beauty is all about moods. If you want to feel sexy, if you want to feel feminine or, I don’t know, boyish – it’s all about how you feel at that point in time. My mood changes. – Jillian Rose Banks
My music is 100-percent me, so it’s just who I developed into as a woman. I feel really grateful that I waited until I did because I feel like I really found who I was by doing that. – Jillian Rose Banks
I listened to pretty much anything that I could really feel, where I felt like the artist had to write those songs, where you can feel their soul and the pain and the happiness and love and everything. – Jillian Rose Banks
James Blake, Jai Paul, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Sohn, Kwabs, Sampha, Lil Silva, and Brandy, always. They all have soul. Deep soul. – Jillian Rose Banks
I like Australia, but every time I’m there, I feel like everybody’s being sarcastic because everyone’s so nice. – Jillian Rose Banks
The song ‘Stick’? That needed to be chunky and sexy. It’s human. It’s human to be the girl in ‘Stick’ and feel spicy as heck. – Jillian Rose Banks
I feel like my dream animal would be a mermaid that could fly and also live in the trees. She has a nest, almost like a bird. She feeds her babies like a bird, like, chews the food first and then feeds it to them through her mouth. – Jillian Rose Banks
I think social media is an interesting beast – you can’t get too caught up in it. People can get caught up in it sometimes, but I think it’s important to live in the present and not on the computer screen. – Jillian Rose Banks
L.A. is a really good home base. I’ve grown up here, and so sometimes I have wanderlust even though I tour. You think it would be cured by touring, but sometimes I feel like I want to be somewhere else. – Jillian Rose Banks
I get so many questions in interviews about feminism, and I think the second you start separating femininity and masculinity and giving one more power than the other, that’s like – everyone is a person. – Jillian Rose Banks
I like a kind of dark, bronze-y brown smoky eye with maybe some mascara, some contouring and stuff, but I don’t like wearing black or pinks. I like it more tonal. – Jillian Rose Banks
