I want to be better at being single, and I want to be better at feeling okay about being single. I don't need a boyfriend.
Meghan Trainor -
With social media, with Instagram and selfies and all these apps that are trying to make you look perfect... it's hard for girls to grow up nowadays with all that stuff.

Art is the colors and textures of your imagination.

Ricky's [Reed] a lot like me. He always says we have the same brain. He does all different genres, and it just happens his first big hit as a producer was [Derulo's] "Talk Dirty to Me," and that Pitbull is his best friend. But he can actually - I swear - he can do every genre.

Radio was my life growing up. Then, I started in our family band with my uncle, my father, my aunt and my little brother. We would go to The Chicken Box and all the bars and play.

In high school, I didn't date awesome dudes.
Meghan Trainor -
At 18, I got a publishing deal, so I was like, 'I can do this for real and not go to college.' When I was a teenager, my parents dragged me to a lot of songwriting conventions.

Boys like a little more booty to hold at night.

I was always a little insecure. I had brothers that played football, so I was just a straight-up tomboy for a minute. I didn't know makeup and hair stuff. My friends had to tell me what a straightener was. I didn't know fashion or any of that until the label gave me a stylist.

As the CEO running my life, running Meghan Trainor, I have to say 'no' to things all the time, and it's been very uncomfortable and very difficult. I've said 'no' and it's actually worked - even when I never thought it would work.
Meghan Trainor -
I'm bringing booty back Go ahead and tell them skinny bitches hey
Meghan Trainor -
I just think women should love themselves more than they do. Because I think - with all the social media stuff - we look at ourselves too much, and we just destroy ourselves when we're way cooler than we know.
Meghan Trainor -
There's a lot of power in the word 'no,' and a lot of people, like myself, need to know that.
Meghan Trainor -
Now that I'm famous, guys don't hit on me.

I like Ariana Grande's nice thigh-gap; she's got good legs.
Meghan Trainor -
I'm from a little island off of Massachusetts, Nantucket. It's hard getting into the music business from there, but my parents took me to songwriting festivals because I would write and produce my own music.
Meghan Trainor -
All my friends were cheerleaders, and I was the girl who hung out at home. I just worked on my music all the time.
Meghan Trainor -
When I got famous, all of a sudden guys wouldn't look at me. Period. So I felt a little sad, a little frustrated. Like, What's going on here? I've never been prettier in my life and I'm so cool and successful.
Meghan Trainor -
Growing up, I didn't get the talk of 'Make sure boys take you on a date and treat you right.' So I was the girl who wasn't dating and would just text. I dated these guys who didn't have jobs, and I would always be paying. At one point, I remember looking in the mirror and thinking, 'You're too pretty and cool to be treated like this.'
Meghan Trainor -
I've never been a die-hard fan, like a crazy fan for an artist.

My team of people around me, they were like, 'Don't be waiting and begging for a man.' You know what I'm saying? Like, 'Don't be desperate because you think having a boyfriend is going to be better. It might be harder with your career.' And then I was like, 'Yeah, you're right. I need to enjoy this."
Meghan Trainor -
I'm definitely bigger than a Rihanna. Pop stars nowadays are all perfect Barbie-doll bodies, and they talk about how they keep their bodies up with hard work, so in my eyes, it's good to have a regular, average body type in the charts.
Meghan Trainor -
I cry for a lot of good things that happen. I cry a lot, okay?
Meghan Trainor -
We've shared so much laughter, so many tears. We're a spiritual bond that grows stronger each year. We're not sisters by birth, but we knew from the start, something put us together to be sisters by heart.
