“Me and my brother get along super well. We're, like, best friends. So we'll stay up until, like, five just talking because we get along and, you know, it's cool. And he respects my opinions, and I respect his, even if we don't have the same opinions, but a lot of the time we do.”

“I always wanted to be a Vine star. I wasn't, thank God.”

“I love people talking about me; I love anybody just looking at me.”

“I had a period in my life where I decided that I would never be bored again and that, if I had any free time at all, I would make plans, and I would always be doing things. It actually was great for a year or so, but then I lost all of my friends.”

“If it's good music, it's good music.”

“I don't even call them fans. I don't like that. They're literally just a part of my life; they're a part of my family. I don't think of them as on a lower level than me. I don't think I'm anything but equal to all of them. So yeah, they're basically all of my siblings.”

“I'm not going to say I'm cool, because I don't really feel that. I just don't care at all, and I guess that's what people think is cool.”

“I just really want to get music out and tour and go places I've never been, and just do more videos. I love photography and videography, and so I really want to direct videos when I can.”

“Aside from singing, I'm also a dancer. I've been dancing since I was 8.”

“I don't really get nervous that much, or if I do, only I know. It's all inside me. I am good at hiding everything.”

“I'm trying to show everybody that I'm a girl, and I'm five foot four, and you can do anything you want, no matter your gender. It's your world, too!”

“I never thought a career as a musician was possible.”

“When I do have free time, I spend it with friends, or I spend it at home writing or making something.”

“My whole life, I've sung and listened to music, and since the beginning, I've had iTunes and used Apple Music for streaming.”

“'Bellyache' is totally fictional. I like writing about things that aren't real. The song is about not trusting anyone and then putting trust in yourself and realizing that you don't know what you are doing, either. Or realizing that things you do with a group of people that you think are cool in the moment are ultimately all on you.”

“Pretty much my whole life, I've been a performer and have loved singing and writing songs in my room for my own ears.”

“What makes a song last is real content from a mind that is thinking a little bit harder about certain things. A lot of artists don't really think that hard.”

“I like to be in control of how I look and how I feel and how I act.”

“Words are more powerful than some noises. Noises won't last long. Lyrics are so important, and people don't realise that.”

“I go through a lot of depression, and I know other people do, too, but I have an outlet that so many people don't. If you have that inside of you and can't get it out, what do you do?”
