“It’s nice to get to know people who are the same age as you that do the same things because it’s like a different level of understanding.”

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.

For me, my number one Hollywood role model is Jennifer Lopez.

Growing up, my family struggled to make ends meet, so I know how important organizations like The Salvation Army are for families to lean on in times of need.

I’ll never forget one time a fan came up to me crying, and told me, ‘You really inspire me to be me. I feel OK to be myself now.’

My parents are so cool, so chill, super hip. They know what’s up.

In my industry, it’s important to have people I look to for different things: guidance, inspiration and motivation.

I have an obsession with hot sauce. I love Cholula. I put Cholula on everything.

I want my fans to understand that what you put into the universe is what you get back.

I’m not silly enough to think I’m going to change the whole culture … but I do have a belief that soccer can go to a different level.

What people need and what they want may be very different.

There is a spirit in every home, a sort of composite spirit composed of the thoughts and feelings of the members of the family as a composite photograph is formed of the features of different individuals.

In different places you run into myths around vaccination or around family planning. In the United States, one of the myths that existed for a long time, that has been completely debunked, was that autism was linked to a vaccine.

When we lose a piece of love we were holding so close to our heart and our soul for so long. We sometimes wonder if it will return the same or differently or has it fallen beneath the settling of our past.

I wonder how different the world would be if we all said what we meant and meant what we said? – speak up.

You could have 50 different states having 50 different regulations until they were all litigated out.

Part of spiritual and emotional maturity is recognizing that it’s not like you’re going to try to fix yourself and become a different person. You remain the same person, but you become awakened.
