My mother always used to say, ‘Well, if you had been born a little girl growing up in Egypt, you would go to church or go to worship Allah, but surely if those people are worshipping a God, it must be the same God’ – that’s what she always said. The same God with different names.
When I was a little girl, I thought when I had an opportunity to go into space, I thought I would at a minimum be working on Mars or another large planet because we were doing all of these incredible things.
I’ve been in an industry of glitz since I was a little girl. I’m always going to love to wear eveningwear and eyelashes.
I’m thrilled to start my family with a little girl! My boyfriend and I couldn’t be happier!
I was a shy little girl. Growing up, I was often content being alone in my room, making up stories, and acting out all the parts. I became so good at it that, with the door closed, my parents thought I had friends over.
My goal in talking about my sexuality publicly is just so that a scared little girl or little boy can see me do it and think, ‘wow, if she did it, then maybe it’s OK that I do it.’ It’s to encourage people to be themselves.
I was brought up Catholic, and even as a little girl I was affected by the idea of giving back – doing something for the needy, something of significance.
Ever since I was a little girl music was my escape and it was something that I did and was a huge part of me; aside from what my grades were in school. It was something that was truly mine.
I am a very poppy little girl. I wasn’t allowed to be poppy at first because y’know in my mind, pop stars are thin and beautiful and light, and I’ve never felt beautiful, skinny and light.
Ever since I was a little girl, I watched many movies, and a lot of them are in California. So I already felt the United States was my home. It wasn’t a difficult choice to move here.
When I was a teeny little girl, I was in dancing school, and I sang.
People were being so mean as a result of my ability – a gift, really. So I think that’s what makes me fight harder to provide an option to aspiring kids or artists.

I love cars. I have loved them since I was a little girl.
I never got to make that transition from little girl to young woman… and that really screws you up.

As a little girl I always dreamed of having a cosmetics contract, which was the cherry on top of ‘making it’ in my opinion.
When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a civil engineer. No joke. I would come home from school and build bridges out of toothpicks and see how much weight they would hold before falling.
I just want to be real and who I am. That’s something I’d feel comfortable with any little girl looking up to, so that’s who I try to be.
If it’s just brushstrokes wrestling around, it isn’t much of a picture book, is it? There still has to be a picture. And maybe it needs to be a picture of a dog named Daisy or a little girl riding a bike. So I have to be careful before I get too carried away in the manner itself.
Mum was a brilliant classical pianist. She was Canadian and studied music at McGill University. She took me to ballet when I was a little girl, and those are some of my happiest memories.

I really wanted to escape from that little girl. But it seems to me that the picture didn’t let me go.
I was so rude when I was a little girl.
I am obsessive always, even as a child. On one side is this strict orthodox religion, on the other is communism, and I am this little girl pulled between the two. It makes me who I am. It turns me into the kind of person that Freud would have a field day with, for sure.
I was taught to whistle as a little girl by an undertaker. I used to sit in his workshop, watching him planing wood for the coffins, and he used to whistle all the time – and eventually I started whistling, too. I can whistle anything, particularly trumpet tunes from Classic FM.
I was obsessed with Miss Elizabeth when I was a little girl.
I was a little girl who grew up idolizing musical-theatre stars.
I always wrote poems when I was a little girl, and I loved hip hop music, and I kind of just started writing poems over beats, and that’s when I started rapping.
I am a huge ‘Wonder Woman’ fan – I had ‘Wonder Woman’ Underoos and a towel that I saved from when I was a little girl that is so faded, if that tells you anything.
When I was a little girl, I thought I was Sydney Carton in Dickens’ ‘A Tale of Two Cities.’ I don’t think anyone else did.

When I was a little girl I wanted to be a dancer. I studied ballet.
I was not a nice little girl. My favorite summertime hobby was stunning ants and feeding them to spiders.
When we began to tour, no one expected me to be a part of the band, so I used that as a tool, and would start the set off-stage or in the audience, as a surprise, because no one expected this little girl to get up and rock the way I do.
What I do now defines who I am as a woman and how people see me; they don’t see me as a little girl.
I love acting since I was little girl. I went to school for it; that’s all I worked on. That’s all I prepared for.
Wonder Woman was my favorite superhero as a little girl. I still have a huge girl crush on Wonder Woman; I think she’s amazing.
Extraordinarily, I was up in the cemetery in Derry City, and I had a red cape on with a fur hood as a little girl, when a gun battle broke out between the IRA and the British Army, and I got caught in the crossfire.
I love 80s fashion. I love it because it’s what my mum and aunties looked like when I was a little girl. It’s what I imagined myself looking like when I was a grown up.
I have no idea what was the first record I ever bought, but I think I asked my mom to buy me… um… a collection of Beethoven when I was a little girl because I became very addicted to his music. It might have been piano sonatas.
I was a very earthly, matronly, plus-size little girl with a pure heart.
I wrote stories from the time I was a little girl, but I didn’t want to be a writer. I wanted to be an actress. I didn’t realize then that it’s the same impulse. It’s make-believe. It’s performance.
Who would’ve thought that this little girl in the ghetto in Philly would be playing the first black lesbian superhero on network TV?

I collect crystals and gemstones, and I’ve been collecting them since I was a little girl. They give me positive energy and strength. They make me feel connected to the earth. I cherish them.
I didn’t want to be looked at. I remember when I was six or seven asking my mom why people were looking at me. She said, ‘They’re looking at you because you’re a beautiful little girl.’ But I didn’t believe her. And yet I put myself in a business where people have to look at you. I think I learnt to block it out.
When I was a little girl, my mother tried to make me dance, but I did not like it then.
I just want to make everybody feel what I’m singing. And just to relate to me and know that this has been dream since I was a little girl. I’ve worked so hard for this, and I just want them to connect with me.
I look at my little girl and I wonder what she’s going to be and what she’s going to do and what is it that leads girls certain directions in life. I think a lot of that goes back to what kind of father they had, and so it makes me want to be the best dad I can possibly be.

Americans are really obsessed with their teeth being white and straight, aren’t they? I saw this little girl the other day with one of those whole head braces. Elastic all the way around! How traumatizing for a child to have to wear one of those! You look like a monster.
