Willow Smith sat down with MTV News on Tuesday (October 19) and shared a bit about her experience thus far as a singer. She talked about the first time she hung out with Jay-Z, her musical inspirations, and showed us the right way to whip your hair. The 9-year old also discussed commitment, procrastination and what it really means to whip your hair:

On what “Whip My Hair” means:
“Don’t be afraid to be yourself. And don’t let anybody tell you that that’s wrong because the best thing is you.”

One thing in her closet that she can’t live without:
“I can’t live without my shoes. There’s one pair I can’t live without. They’re high-tops and they have checkers on the bottom and they’re like yellow and pink and white and they’re so tight.”

On how she felt the day of the video shoot:
“It was a long day most of the time. It was hard sometimes. But if you have a commitment to that, you have to stick with it. It’s not because I have to, it’s because I want it. Most people if they don’t want it, they’ll just be like, ‘Oh, well I can do that tomorrow. Is that what they call procrastinating?”

Gotta love Willow.
