“I can’t believe how fast things have happened, and I’m just so honored that people are able to look to me as a leader.”

I’m a very spontaneous person. When I see something that might be fun or different, I will try it.

I’d say some of my earliest scent memories are from home – just things that were around my house, and my mom’s cooking.

I’m always wanting to spread as much positivity as possible, so I really try to keep that the case with my fans and with the campaigns that I do.

There’s nothing that scares me more than, like, being in the ocean by myself.

Chance The Rapper is just unreal: he’s changing rap and really creating this whole amazing new style.

I think when you have raw emotion in a song, it makes it great.

I don’t really look into the past too much.

When I put that first Vine out, I was just doing it for fun; there was no wanting to become an artist.

I love Milan, and I’m not just saying that. It’s a city that gives me a great sense of euphoria. I can’t explain why, but I feel a special energy there.

I love acting. I would really love to act.

I’m always upset about not doing things as good as I think I could have because I care.

I think if you’re creating music, and you love the song, holding it back is just doing it an injustice.

I’m just growing so quickly, so my songs are quickly changing on me. But it’s fine. I love them for what they are and what they were, to me.

I feel like every time I write a song, it feels like the first time I wrote a song. It’s just as hard. It doesn’t get easier, but that’s why I love it: because it’s a challenge every time.

I always think, what type of 11th grader would I be if I was still at school? Or if I was home all the time, would I be at the gym 24/7? Would I be as good at guitar? I know I wouldn’t be as mature as I am.

Singing kind of came out of nowhere.

When inspiration does not come to me, I go halfway to meet it.

No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinced that it says what he means

Be the reason someone believes in the goodness of people.

If you want to be successful, it’s just this simple. Know what you are doing. Love what you are doing. And believe in what you are doing.

Hope isn’t about pretending that dark times don’t exist, its all about believing that darkness will not forever.

What we wish, we readily believe, and what we ourselves think, we imagine others think also.

I don’t believe in soulmates. I believe that life pulls you towards people who blend, with different shades of you, as you evolve.

The more you believe in yourself, the happier you feel after.
