“Ed Sheeran wrote his songs, so I wanted to write my own songs.”

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.

First of all, I’m not gay. Second of all, it shouldn’t make a difference if I was or if I wasn’t.

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 also feel like I’m learning new ways.

I was an average student. I wasn’t any standout. I remember when people started to know who I was and the label offers, people started to get a little weird and be weird around me.
