“I am a really great daughter.”

I started singing before I started talking. And that’s the God’s honest truth. I think it was something that I’ve always loved to do, even if I wasn’t good at it. I just loved ballads.

I was bored one day, so my dad took me to this acting school. I liked it more than having fun – I liked it for an actual job.

I started singing before I started tweeting, actually. It was always a passion… I started singing, and then I got into acting. Singing is something I love to do. I feel very confident doing it.

I have three other siblings, so it’s all very equal – even when I get a little cocky, which I usually do. My brother keeps me in a headlock. He says that I’m not a celebrity in this house. I think I’m really chilled out and grounded.

I love playing Eleven.

Working, for me, is like a gift.

My parents are so amazing, and they’ve travelled around the world with me.

It’s nice to have famous people love you.

I’m quite sarcastic, and I’m funny, but not kind of funny. It’s a weird funny, and some people don’t get me, and some people do.

My family is really proper.

I’m obsessed with working out. I eat like a pig, so it kind of makes up for that.

I could live without my phone. And one thing I’d love to do is experience having the freedom that kids had back in the ’80s.

I feel very lucky. My family and I have worked hard, and I feel very grateful.

My brother’s really well-spoken.

I have two hands: one for me, one for other people.

I didn’t do school plays… I’ve never done a play in my life, actually. Not even a nativity.

To our girls, the name father is another name for what we created, love.

I will never rue the love inside of my heart because I have a king to uphold and queens to raise.

Never stop your girl from fulfilling her dreams, identify her hidden wings and let her fly.

Can’t wait to have a daughter, so I can spoil her.

I’m the daughter of a mother who broke down all kinds of barriers.

Daughters are special! Appreciate them, admire them and respect them.

I am often asked what my aspirations for my music are. Do I want to fill big stadiums? Do I want to be a star? I just want to touch a few people’s hearts and show my daughters that they can follow their dreams.

I hope to help make a better world for my daughters; to help break down the divides that still very much exist.
