“I definitely talked about it. We kicked around the idea. I had people on my team saying, ‘Oh, I’d hate for you to miss out on a cash grab, or an opportunity.’ I don’t. I’m so sorry, I don’t want to live my life, you know, on a cash grab. And if that makes me stupid to some people, it makes me stupid.” – Melody Thornton
“If you adopt an attitude that I want the best for everybody, I’m included in that. Everybody’s included in that. Every time something great comes to you, you win. Every time something great comes to other people, you win.” – Melody Thornton
“It was the one time through customs that they were like, ‘Right, we’re going to search you.’ And I was like, ‘I really can’t do this right now. Like, I’m gonna be performing at the American Music Awards!’. I literally landed and was on my way to the red carpet. It was the day of the awards show.” – Melody Thornton
“I love ‘Don’t Cha’ now, for sure. It grew on me. The way that people responded to it and the way that they loved it. I definitely love it… it’s aged so well. Yeah, it’s fantastic. I’m very proud. I’m proud to have been a part of a moment in music that was like, you know, Rihanna and Beyoncé, up there with the big girls.” – Melody Thornton
“I’m not even going to lie. I look forward to the day when I can be like, ‘Cool, somebody else come in and does the wardrobe. When you’re independent, you try and get the best bang for your buck, but also want it to look the way you always envisioned that it would look… If I am the artist and creator, let me create!” – Melody Thornton
