40 Quotes by Santigold

I'm trying so hard to do something that means something and has integrity and cares about talent.

I like when pop is still good music; that's what I like.

When I go with different producers, and they've thought about what they want to do, I think they feel a little bit more free, because they know almost any sound will work on my record if we pull it together properly - so they don't feel so limited.

I've always been an artist who's about being real and about telling the truth and making music with integrity and talking about something.

Politics are wack - it's mostly about the characters instead of the issues, like how religion is about religion instead of spirituality.

It's always cathartic for me to write music.
