This office is smaller than the last one I had. I'm not trying to impress people. I want to be close to them.
I don't ever wanna come across too intimidating, so as long as I look like you can come up and give me a hug, that's good.
When I was growing up, because I was a bit overweight and boyish, I thought I wasn't attractive to the opposite sex, but I have since met lads from my school who said I just seemed unapproachable.
I can explain my work to the cleaner or the president; it's all the same to me. I am very communist in this way.
I think... I'm perceived as an everyperson. There is no pedestal. I'm no different from anybody else.
I'm already a personable person. I always try to smile and get to know somebody and say hello - even when people are trying not to talk to me.
My door is open.
I'm down to earth; people sense that and they appreciate it.
For some reason, I just lack that ability to be embarrassed about going up to people. I even do it for friends if they want to ask someone out.
I want to be less of a role model and more of a mentor. I don't ever want kids to put me on a pedestal and feel like they can't talk or reach out to me. I want to be there for them.
Yellow's more like, I'm not trying to be this sexy vixen or anything, obviously. I'm a very friendly person, and I literally do just want to be your friend. I think all of that is wrapped up in yellow. It seems to work. I like being in it.
Creating the future means having a global vision and an extreme focus on the approachability of what we're creating.
Hillary Clinton is running for president. This time around, she promises to be warm and approachable. Like me.
You make yourself broad. You make yourself appealing. 'Hey, y'all, I'm cool with everybody.' That's my message.
I'm happy to talk to anybody about anything.
I still want to be as approachable and relatable as possible - when I meet fans and they're crying, I'll say, 'Calm down, there's nothing to cry about.'
I'm always making a conscious effort to be viable and accessible.
If I met me, I would say a quick hello and then think that I was a really nice girl.
I like down-to-earth people.
Everyone is different, but I'm not standoffish at all. I'm not one of those people who prefer to write a note. I'll walk right up to you and ask you out! Even if the answer's no, I'm totally cool with it.
It's just hard to look at yourself and guess how you're going to be perceived by other people sometimes. I do my best to let people know that I'm approachable, but I'm a human being just like anybody else. Sometimes people forget that. They forget that you're a person and they treat you like this celebrity thing. But I have to be patient with that, and I try to be.
I did get a reputation for being choosy and not very easy to be approached, and none of that is true. It is not that I am not approachable, it is just that I am trying to find myself and establish who I am as an artist.
My best quality is that I talk to everyone. My worst quality is that I talk to everyone.
Engaging with the audience lets them know I'm approachable. I don't like that whole, 'You can't talk to Sheila E thing' - I don't like that.
I'm always the one sitting at the merch table and talking to everyone at the show - and I think it's because I have this deep fear that if I'm not approachable or I'm not there, people are going to think I'm a brat.
