Artist Quote by Janelle Monae
“I'm really thankful to have my own record label. I've always looked up to people like Madonna when she launched Maverick Records. Even Jay Z and Sean "Puffy" Combs, who's a mentor and also gave me a shot when I was an independent artist in Atlanta. He came to my show, and he said, "I just want people to know about you."”
![“It's hard for me to be serious. I can't really rub oil on me and go all the way with it [laughs]. I hear some screams and I laugh to myself. I always get a kick out of it. I'm three feet tall, basically.” quote by Janelle Monae](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/a52/janelle-monae-3903_feet_it-s-hard-for-me-to-be-serious-i-can-t-r_24647.jpg)
