“Being 15, I feel like people want me to go down the Justin Bieber, Cody Simpson sort of genre.”

So many of my songs are based on things that either happened to me or to someone I know, but there are also ones where I’ve written a made-up story. All of them are about very real emotions, and I just find different ways to express them.

As I’m growing, so is my music.

I’m all over the place with muffins. Carrots are great. Banana, chocolate chip, they rock, too.

I really love going back home. I think going back to a nice, relaxed little town is the best way to do it.

Being a sex symbol isn’t cool unless you’re in love with a girl, and she calls you a sex symbol.

I work out every day.

I’m still a little certain I’m a wizard.

You just have to play it cool. You don’t want everyone to know you’re an amateur.

I give big ups to people who are very big on social media, whether they’re doing vlogs or whatever. It takes a lot of effort.

I think anyone can do anything they dream of if they put their mind to it and put in the work.

Sometimes I get more excited for shows that I know are going to be quieter because it gets me more inspired to be more of a showman and be more of an entertainer and forces me to work harder.

Manuka honey is magic.

I want to graduate high school, so it’s very important to me, and I’ll be focusing hard on that as well.

If I don’t have cereal on the bus, I’m going to be really upset.

Mercy,’ I love conceptually because I feel like you can either think about it as if it were a girl – which it sounds like it could be about a girl – but I like to picture it as ‘pleading for mercy for my career’ type of thing.

My advice to anyone with a dream is to never stop pursuing it.

At my age, there is really only one big surprise left, and I’d just as soon leave it a mystery.

Some people are old at 18 and some are young at 90. Time is a concept that humans created.

By time and age full many things are taught.

No matter your age, you are here today, so there is time.

Future ages will wonder at us, as the present age wonders at us now.

Your age is your badge of honor.

Age is a measurement of time. Time is your most valuable resource, without it you have nothing.

The pride of youth is in strength and beauty, the pride of old age is in discretion.
