My uncle is from Trinidad, so, ever since I was 7, I grew up listening to Soca, the genre that's from there. It's my favorite sound.

So let's take our time to say what we want. Use what we got before it's all gone.

Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top. My mama, she told me don't worry about your size. She says boys like a little more booty to hold at night. Yeah I won't be no stick figure silicone Barbie doll, so if that's what you're into then go ahead and move along.
Meghan Trainor -
It still hasn't kicked in yet. I haven't had a second to think about it. And I don't physically have the Grammy! So I can't even look at it!

Since my father is a musician as well, he taught me growing up that if you can play jazz, you can learn all instruments and write on them. He wanted me to be a songwriter that can do anything in any genre. I'm all about doing every genre.
Meghan Trainor -
Any body type is beautiful. It's all about loving what you got and rocking it.
Meghan Trainor -
Yeah, it's pretty clear, I ain't no size two But I can shake it, shake it Like I'm supposed to do 'Cause I got that boom boom that all the boys chase And all the right junk in all the right places
Meghan Trainor -

A lot of people think I came out of nowhere. When you start as a songwriter, nobody knows who you are. I met the guy who wrote 'Yeah' by Usher, which was a huge smash, and nobody knew who he was.
Meghan Trainor -
Everybody's born to be different, that's the one thing that makes us the same.
Meghan Trainor -
You know I won't be no stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll
Meghan Trainor -
I dont consider myself a feminist, but Im down for my first opportunity to say something to the world to be so meaningful. If you asked me, What do you want to say? it would be, Love yourself more.
Meghan Trainor -
I tried to go anorexic for a good three hours. I ate ice and celery, but that’s not even anorexic. And I quit. I was like, 'Ma, can you make me a sandwich? Like, immediately.'
Meghan Trainor -
After two years in the songwriting world, I wrote 'All About That Bass.' L.A. Reid heard it and signed me as an artist.

If you got beauty, beauty, just raise em up. Cause every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top.
Meghan Trainor -
I didn't know fashion or any of that until the label gave me a stylist.
Meghan Trainor -
I totally agree with equal rights and women's causes, and most of my songs are woman-power, but I don't want to be labelled at 20 years old.
Meghan Trainor -
When I was 13, I told my dad I needed to record myself because I sounded awesome, even though I didn't. By 18, I was a lot better. Then I got a publishing deal, so I was writing songs for other people professionally.
Meghan Trainor -
When I got signed as a songwriter, I immediately thought, 'Oh, no one sees me as an artist because I don't look good enough.' So I shut down the whole idea.
Meghan Trainor -
I grew up a chubby girl. I had two brothers. My parents loved us, they just fed us whatever we wanted.

I don't read books. I read 'On the Road' in high school, and that was awesome, so I guess that's my favorite book. 'To Kill a Mockingbird,' even though I didn't read it, that's the greatest story. SparkNotes came in when I was in high school, and that was the greatest invention.
Meghan Trainor -
It’s all about loving what you got and rocking it.
Meghan Trainor -
I had a reporter ask me how much I weigh. I said to him, 'You go first: How much do you weigh?' People always ask me what I eat. Other artists don't get asked these questions.
Meghan Trainor -
Owning your curves means being confident - actually being confident - in your own skin.
