I don’t feel the need to define nothin’ to nobody, because I’m always changing. Why say that I’m this or that when I might not be tomorrow? I’m gonna follow my own feelings and my own heart. – Keke Palmer
I went to private school for a very long time, and we always wore uniforms. Then in third grade, I switched to a public school, so I was so excited to wear what I wanted on the first day. I remember I chose this orange hoodie with a skirt, and it’s so funny when I think about it now because my style really hasn’t changed that much. – Keke Palmer
Urban Outfitters – I love it. It’s almost like Forever 21, but for, like, the 24- to 25-year-old girl, getting a little bit older. – Keke Palmer
The music industry is something that I’m still trying to understand. With acting, I’ve been doing it for so long that I understand every aspect of it for the most part – there are obviously still more aspects that I need to learn – but I have a grasp on it. With music, I’m still learning. I’m still getting used to it. – Keke Palmer
I love clothes! I shop everywhere, but I like Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, Nordstrom, and Neiman Marcus. It’s a wide range. I’m from California, and I love the Pasadena Flea Market. – Keke Palmer
I’ve been able to stay good because of my family and keeping God first. If you don’t have God in your life, how are you going to navigate through this world? – Keke Palmer
I didn’t come from a lot. I had a lot of love and support from my family, but as far as money and that type of thing, I didn’t really have any of that. All I did was follow my dreams. If my fans take anything from me, I hope it would be that. – Keke Palmer
I have a particular pair of boyfriend jeans that I wear with Converse sneakers and, really, any kind of top, from a crop top to a hoodie. I usually go for a loose top or jacket to keep things casual with sort of a streetwear vibe. – Keke Palmer
Growing up in the industry, sometimes you can feel as if you’re not having a normal childhood, but I feel like my parents involved me with a lot of people who made things as ‘okay’ as they possibly could. – Keke Palmer
I’m happy with who I am inside. I’d hate to have accolades and all that and not really be happy with who I was. So I’m really thankful for my family and for the support system that I have for being the person that I am today. I’m proud of who I am. – Keke Palmer
I named my album ‘So Uncool’ because it defies the ordinary: you’re different from everyone else. It’s like, being uncool makes you cool because you’re different! – Keke Palmer
People that want to be in the tabloids will get into the tabloids. I just stay home and don’t go out much. My personality is not an introvert, but that’s how I am as far as going out to parties. I just stay in my house and hang out with friends. – Keke Palmer
I think you can do anything you put your mind to. I think your mind is the worst thing you can use as a reason to not do something. – Keke Palmer
Giving back, doing motivational speeches and stuff like that, that’s always made me feel good. If you repeatedly go out there, and you are the change that you want to see, then that’s what you are. – Keke Palmer
Corbin Bleu was my first kiss in life. I was 12, and he was, like, my first kiss for TV… It was on the lips! – Keke Palmer
I want to present a very strong and bold image, but with femininity. I love being sweet and salty all together. – Keke Palmer
Even though I’m in the industry and I act and all this stuff, I still suffer from self-esteem issues… from the way that I look or the way that I talk… just nitpicking at myself. – Keke Palmer
I love music and I love acting. I always keep that in the forefront, not all the other distractions around me. – Keke Palmer
You have to understand that when things go wrong in your life, it doesn’t mean you need to quit. It means you need to get stronger and change your plan. – Keke Palmer
As a child actor, you experience a lot of depression and anxiety… Yes, I went through depression, and it was not comfortable. Yes, I struggle with anxiety and being paranoid, trying to figure out who I am. – Keke Palmer
I don’t belong to anyone else but myself. I have to make my own decisions. Happiness is defined by me. – Keke Palmer
I’m a mash-up of everyone. My influences would be Michael Jackson, Brandy, Aaliyah – those types of people. So if you can imagine them – and with me taking them, and then putting my own twist and the influence on it – that’s musically what I would sound like. – Keke Palmer
I was bullied a lot as a kid in school from kindergarten up to third grade. I know what it feels like to be left out and to want to be different – more so, to want to not be different and want to just fit in. – Keke Palmer
I think people should have fun. And don’t get so down on yourself. Enjoy life and be the best person you can be. – Keke Palmer
I can’t even tell anyone how it feels when I’m acting, I don’t mean to say that I don’t have to try. But there’s something in my heart that explodes, and I feel like I understand. When I’m acting, I feel like so in control and so centered. This is something that I solely get from acting and music. It’s like love itself. – Keke Palmer
I’ve done a lot of meditation studying on my own, but I’ve also taken a couple of transcendence classes. – Keke Palmer
I wasn’t that into it or that knowledgeable of fashion until I started working on ‘True Jackson.’ I feel like it was my duty to learn more because people would feel that I should because I’m on the show. So definitely, that made me more involved with fashion, and now I’m a little fashion guru. It’s totally out of control. – Keke Palmer
I can dance. I like hip hop and stuff and jazz movements, but I’m horrible in ballet. I tried. – Keke Palmer
