“I'm confrontational.”

“I was stressing when 'Hot to Go' came out because I was like, 'People are not going to take me seriously as a writer.'”

“That's cool. I really never expected anything from my career but to make me happy.”

“I struggle with being really hard on myself with everything, even good things, like saying 'good job' to myself, or being like, 'I just went to a yoga class - that's really good and healthy for me!' It's like, 'Oh, well, you didn't go yesterday, so it's not like you'll keep this habit.'”

“I've been poor, so I know I can be happy and poor.”

“People who I've looked up to my entire life are like peers, which is sick.”

“I think it's just a girlie from the Midwest who is doing their own thing and causing a ruckus - a little bit of a rebel. It doesn't have to be a girl. A Midwest Princess does not mean girl or boy, it can mean anything.”

“My dreams already came true. I sold out a headline tour, and got to do it my way.”

“I was just like, girls are so pretty. I was always really obsessive over my girl best friends.”

“It's my favorite part of life, having a crush on someone.”

“I was mostly raised on Christian rock and country music.”

“People always say, getting what you want doesn't always make you happy. I never really knew what that meant or felt like. I'm sad that I'm not bouncing off the walls about it all, because it's all working - everything that I've been working for my whole career.”

“I was working the drive-through and I was like, 'Oh my God, I think I'm just going to go to school' because I really wanted to be... I still want to be an art therapist where I go into schools and do art through craft therapy.”

“I was so desperate to feel understood. I pushed down the gay part of myself so deep because I was like, that can't possibly be me.”

“I'm the pop star of Goodwill. I'm a thrift store pop star.”

“I don't miss high school. I was such a depressed kid, so I don't miss that. But I miss my youth. I mourn being a kid because my career took that away from me pretty immediately when I signed.”

“I have so many issues with our government in every way. There are so many things that I would want to change.”

“To me, there is literally nothing more exciting than watching a drag performance.”

“Chappell is a character.”

“I think growing up in a conservative state made me have a different perspective on queerness and a great appreciation for safe spaces and more accepting places.”
