Frasi di Rihanna

“Brilliamo luminosi come un diamante.”

“La gente non si droga in mia presenza. Non lo permetterei mai. Le persone che mi circondano sono le persone a cui voglio bene, e io non voglio vedere che le persone a cui voglio bene si facciano del male.”

“Se in America il magro è bello, a Barbados il grasso è bello, le ragazze con grossi sederi e belle curve.”

“Siamo belli come diamanti nel cielo.”

“Ero una bambina un po' confusa, perché sono cresciuta con mia madre, che è nera. Sono stata cresciuta come una 'nera'. Ma una volta arrivata a scuola mi davano della 'bianca'. Mi fissavano e mi insultavano. Io non riuscivo a capire. Dal canto mio avevo visto gente di tutte le sfumature di pelle, e io ero chiara. Ora mi trovo in un mondo molto più grande.”

“I miei vicini si lamentavano con altri vicini, molto amici di mia madre, cosicché sapevo cosa pensavano di me: ero troppo chiassosa. In realtà ce ne infischiavamo. Non mi possono dire cosa devo fare in casa mia!”

“Lui è uno dei miei migliori amici nel settore musicale. Mi fa sentire come un'adolescente — quando dovrei solo comportarmi e pensare come un'adulta. Mi fa sentire ancora una ragazzina.”

“Non puoi nemmeno uscire con un amico che è una celebrità e divertirsi insieme senza che la gente cominci a pensare chissà che cavolate.”

“Geneticamente dovrei avere delle gambe lunghissime. Meglio che non ci pensi, o impazzisco.”

“Lei è Beyoncé, io sono la nuova protégée di Jay-Z. Quando ci incrociamo ci salutiamo. Non siamo nemiche, ma non siamo nemmeno amiche amiche.”

“La gente mi fa le domande più ingenue. Mi hanno chiesto se abbiamo i gabinetti dentro casa. Ma io non mi arrabbio. Semplicemente non lo sanno.”

“Cos'è l'amore senza tragedia?”

“La cosa più difficile per me è rifiutare. Mi sento una stronza. Ma a volte non ho altra scelta.”

“When the door closes you have two choices. Give up, or keep going. Let them shut you down or prove them wrong. We all start somewhere. It's where you end up that counts. Grammy 2013”

“There’s freedom in honesty. If you just face it today, tomorrow you can move on to something else.”

“People don't do them around me. I would never allow it. The people who are around me are people that I love, and I don't want to see people that I love hurt themselves.”

“Well, there’s always this human instinct about that, even from a very, very young age. I agreed that we are born with a sort of innate sexuality. But by like age 11, girls were talking about what they had and hadn’t done. I hadn’t even kissed a boy yet, so it always made me feel insecure, like I was never gonna be good or ready or know what to do — I didn’t even have boobs.”

“Guys need attention. They need that nourishment, that little stroke of the ego that gets them by every now and then. I’ll give it to my family, I’ll give it to my work — but I will not give it to a man right now.”

“People ask me the most naive questions. Someone asked me if we have indoor toilets. I can't get upset. They just don't know.”

“He's one of my closest friends in the industry. He makes me feel like a teenager — I have to act and think like an adult so much. He makes me feel young again.”

“She's Beyoncé, and I'm [Jay-Z's] new protégée. When we see each other we say hi. We're not enemies, but we're not friends friends.”

“I was a little confused as a kid because I grew up with my mom, and my mom is black. So, I was cultured in a very 'black' way. But when I go to school, I'm getting called 'white.' They would look at me, and they would curse me out. I didn't understand. I just knew I saw people of all different shades, and I was light. Now, I'm in a much bigger world.”

“The label didn't want me to do this look. But cutting my hair, it made me stand out as an artist. I don't care who likes it--this is me.”

“While in America beautiful is skinny, in Barbados it's thick — girls with huge butts and nice curves.”

“I’m turned on by guys who are cultured. That’ll keep me intrigued. They don’t have to have a single degree, but they should speak other languages or know things about other parts of the world or history or certain artists or musicians. I like to be taught. I like to sit on that side of the table.”
