“You have to work the crowd.”

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.

I’m proud to say I’m a role model for kids.

I believe vitamin C can fix everything.

I haven’t really found the right person. That sounds like an older person thing to say, but I’m too busy and – not in a bad way – don’t want to waste my time.

Each man is good in the sight of the Great Spirit. It is not necessary for eagles to be crows. Now we are poor but we are free. No white man controls our footsteps. If we must die, we die defending our rights.

Why can’t we control our anger? because we love perfection. make a little room for imperfection in our lives.

It really bugs me that someone will tell me, after I spent 20 years being educated, how I’m supposed to think.

Worry is assuming responsibilities that you cannot handle. They truth is, they are responsibilities that God never intended for you to handle, because they are His.

Time management is an oxymoron. Time is beyond our control, and the clock keeps ticking regardless of how we lead our lives. Priority management is the answer to maximizing the time we have.

As soon as government management begins it upsets the natural equilibrium of industrial relations, and each interference only requires further bureaucratic control until the end is the tyranny of the totalitarian state.

My diabetes is such a central part of my life… it did teach me discipline, it also taught me about moderation. I’ve trained myself to be super-vigilant because I feel better when I am in control.

That’s something I like about drag – I get to do everything. Collaborative arts are hard for me because I don’t really like to relinquish control.
