“I don’t know about you, but I love going on trips – especially with my family.”

I think confidence is a true form of beauty.

I’ve definitely accepted the fact that I’m not normal.

Sometimes you do get caught up in the midst of becoming… a product, a brand, and not having a say in any of that.

I’m like, ‘Yeah, I could afford braces, but why should I change myself to be what everybody else wants me to be when I’m OK with who I am and I’m happy with who I am?’

Coffee is my water now.

I figured, ‘Why not go into entertainment?’ I love entertaining people. I always loved being extra loud.

Honestly, are we ever going to get over ‘California Girls’ by Katy Perry? I know it’s old, but that song – I love that song!

I love having my hoop earrings. Just regular gold hoops.

When I was nine years old, my family lost our home, and the six of us moved into my grandparents’ converted garage.

I would love to have my own fashion line because I love sketching.

Even though I know who I am, musically I’m a blank canvas. I know what colors I want to use, but I don’t know what picture I want to paint yet.

I have fun when I’m making music, and I want people to have fun when they listen to it.

I always tell people, ‘Coming from such a big Mexican family when there’s a new baby every three weeks, you have to do something to get someone’s attention.’

People may not know this about me, but I’ve always loved cooking. My favorite thing to cook is my mom’s spicy spaghetti.

I love big summer dresses, and it sucks because I’m such a little person, so I always have to be very specific about which ones I put on.

I love people who dress how they feel and change it depending on the day.

I have now disposed of all my property to my family. There is one thing more I wish I could give them, and that is the Christian Religion. If they had that and I had not given them one shilling they would have been rich; and if they had not that and I had given them all the world, they would be poor.

The most ironic thing is my grandfather has his master’s in music composition; he was a jazz composer. My dad was a musician, too. He played more, like, soul music.

Show me a family of readers, and I will show you the people who move the world.

The great lesson is that the sacred is in the ordinary, that it is to be found in one’s daily life, in one’s neighbors, friends, and family, in one’s backyard.

This is all the inheritance I give to my dear family. The religion of Christ will give them one which will make them rich indeed.

In my family, we were Americans, we were Republicans and we were Methodists.

I’m running for president because everyday Americans and their families need a champion, and I want to be that champion. I want to make the words middle class mean something again.

I spend more time with Gucci Mane or Birdman than 300, but all this is just family. Who cares about contracts?
