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

I really like brunettes.

I’d rather sleep on the bus than in the hotel because I sleep way better on tour buses.

I started watching YouTube videos and singing, and it became something that I was obsessed with.

I work so hard to make that sure I’m successful. If you’re positive and really excited and enthusiastic about what you’re doing, it’s going to happen, and it’s going to happen big time.

No matter what, I’m trying to have fun and, depending on the mood, fun can be on a roller coaster and playing onstage, or fun can be sitting in a room with three of your best friends talking for two hours.

I was one of those kids who was just always on the Internet, always on YouTube, so it was easy for me to do it. It’s not work. It’s just fun.

I wanted to be an actor, like, so, so bad. I took acting classes, I auditioned for Disney, and then I realized how nervous I got with remembering lines.

From 15 to 18, everybody is a different person. Every six months, I have a whole new outlook on life.

I think it’s not about what you say; it’s about what you don’t say.

With love, there are so many layers to it that you can write all day about it. It’s not just heartbreak or falling in love; there’s so many different ways to look at it.

I’d say the best scents are ones that don’t overtake a room. I love things that remind me of the outdoors and home.

I’ve always been really tall and lanky.

I’m very, very amateur, which is funny because I’m not in the amateur leagues.

I think I was just bored one summer afternoon, and I decided to post a little video of me singing and playing guitar out of tune.

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

There’s so much negativity on social media, I don’t want to add to that.

Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see.

Lots of people will give you advice and depending upon how well they know you, the advice might be valid or not so valid.

Sometimes I think God is trying to test me, both now and in the future. I’ll have to become a good person on my own, without anyone to serve as a model or advise me, but it’ll make me stronger in the end.

The last thing my father told me was: ‘On your way up, take me up. On your way down, don’t let me down.’ A father telling his son that puts some responsibility on my shoulders. He told me that, and I take it very seriously.

You have to do the exact opposite of what everyone else is doing.

Like love, the light or guidance of truth that influences us exists only in living form, not in principles or rules or expectations or advice, however widely circulated.

The best advice about getting older? Just be thankful you’re not dead!

Wait. Look. Notice. If you keep those three words in mind, you just might survive the next few days.
