“People are terrified of me, and I want them to be.”

You can write a song about being in love with someone, but you don’t have to be in love with anyone.

I find a lot of inspiration through visuals. When I was 12, I saw Aurora’s ‘Runaway’ music video. Something inside me clicked, like, ‘That is what I want to do, no matter whether it goes anywhere or not.’

I’m pretty sure I don’t have any songs that are about how much I love someone. They’re all either about, like, ‘I hate you,’ or ‘You make me hate me.

I’m super self-critical, which I think is good, because then I get exactly what I want. I’m critical of other people, too – I try not to be, though.

In real life, I’m a really smiley person. I smile when I talk and I laugh.

I think it’s really cool when artists have song titles or album names that are a really conversational sentence.

I love people talking about me; I love anybody just looking at me.

I think everybody deserves an equal amount of appreciation whether how old they are, but I mean, I’m cool with the praise. I’m good.

Pretty much my whole life, I’ve been a performer and have loved singing and writing songs in my room for my own ears.

I used to write random little stupid things when I was five, but then the first song I really wrote was one called Fingers Crossed.

Time is kind of an amazing thing because you can do so much with it. I think people underestimate time. I don’t want to just sit on my phone for hours.

I really love Linkin Park, and I loved Chester Bennington, and it is horrible what happened to him.

I don’t really get nervous that much, or if I do, only I know. It’s all inside me. I am good at hiding everything.

If it’s good music, it’s good music.

Words are more powerful than some noises. Noises won’t last long. Lyrics are so important, and people don’t realise that.

Sexism is everywhere, bro. I don’t know if it’s ever not somewhere.

Take charge of your attitude. Don’t let someone else choose it for you.

Always falling but not for anything.

It’s the attitude about life, man. Looking at the light instead of the dark. Looking at love instead of fear.

Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.

God is always more interested in why we do something than in what we do. Attitudes count more than achievements.

You will find the whole world will change to you when you change your attitude toward it.

Many people excuse their own faults but judge other persons harshly. We should reverse this attitude by excusing others’ shortcomings and by harshly examining our own.

With attitude, you can determine your own performance.
