“Literally, when I go to the vocal coach, I'm like, 'You are teaching me nothing.' You know?”

“When I look at my streams on Spotify, and I just see it's hundreds of millions of streams, I think, 'Wow, that's amazing.' But you don't really get it. Once you see people in front of you singing along to your songs, it's real.”

“I think my thing is that... I don't know. And that's why I don't wanna sing about 'This is me, this is who I am' because, like, even the question, 'Tell me about yourself' - what are you supposed to say? 'Ooh, I'm a happy girl, but I'm sad, too'? People are so complex.”

“I, personally, do not consider myself to be some kind of Holy Mary of feminism.”

“Some people can't sing - like honestly - but they're famous anyway, and they might be famous for being an artist, which is completely different from being a singer.”

“The only person I'd cry if I met would be Beyonce.”

“I love eyebrows, so brow pencils and brow shadow are really important to me.”

“I love to go all out - once I start doing my makeup, I kind of tend to do a lot of it. So like foundation, contour, highlight, eyeliner, shadow, lashes, lipstick - everything! But I really, really love my contours.”

“That's absolutely one of my main goals, to have a number one on Billboard. That's a big thing for me. That means people are buying and listening to your music.”

“When I was little, I had concerts on the subway, and old ladies came up to me like, 'You are so good!'”

“If it's a good song, it's a good song. I'll take it.”

“I would say that the majority of the people I work with are Swedish, very unknown producers and writers but so talented.”

“I've always known that singing was some sort of calling for me. It comes naturally.”

“Mostly, I just write about feelings that people can relate to. Because, yeah, I don't know who I am, and this is not my sound forever... I'm a human, so hopefully, I will always develop.”

“I work so hard, but... everything just goes my way! It's insane!”

“If it weren't for singing, I don't know what else I would do with myself.”

“It could be interesting doing something with Kanye.”

“My dream is to have a bed of my own in Los Angeles and one in Sweden.”

“I've always loved to perform in front of people, but it became pretty serious when I participated in 'Sweden's Got Talent.' I thought it would be a fun thing to do, and I was just like, 'OK, why not?' And Mom was like, 'OK, sure, sure, do this!' So I did, and I won it!”
