"One thing that I also love about Halsey is how supportive she is about other female artists. I think she did an interview last year where she was talking about how women are often pitted against each other in music, but we’re no longer going to be complicit in it. We’re not going to let that happen because we all love each other and we’re all fans of each other. We get to be respectful of each other, just the same as the guys in music do. You notice how all these male artists are always showing each other respect, even if they’re not friends and they don’t hang out or whatever, they don’t know each other, [but] they’re allowed to respect each other from afar. Yet women are somehow expected to either love or hate each other, and it’s all supposed to be personal. So I love that she’s been making such important points about, y’know, feminism and equality, and end of perceptions of gender, and everything like that. She’s one of the best people we have in music right now, especially because she loves to take a stand for what’s right."
