“I don’t think a song should be put in a category.”

If I’m in a bad mood, or if I’m uncomfortable, it’s probably what I’m wearing that’s making me feel that way.

I’m a really particular person. I want it my way.

Me and my brother get along super well. We’re, like, best friends.

Aside from singing, I’m also a dancer. I’ve been dancing since I was 8.

It’s really fun to be on stage in front of people.

All of the Vines that were acted & setup & had nice cameras, those weren’t the good Vines. The good Vines were, like, a random little kid in the middle of a forest, like, yelling.

It’s really fun to put yourself into a character – into shoes you wouldn’t normally be in.

I have so many designs and video ideas and lyrics in my head, so I always try to be productive.

I always want to create and do things, or draw.

There are alway going to be bad things. But you can write it down and make a song out of it.

Lyrics are so important, but they’re really underrated.

There are people who are afraid of successful women, and that’s so lame.

When I write, I try to become different characters.

I think of most songs that way – if you can’t dance to a song, it’s not a song.

I don’t want people at my shows to come out and say, ‘I just saw a cool show.’ I want them to say, ‘I had fun at the show.’

Beyonce and Rihanna Dance really cool.

We all grew up idolizing another musician. That’s how this works. That’s how music is created.

I don’t think anyone ever plans to change line-ups, but it’s something that comes with being in bands. I was in a band once and there were always problems – members come and go – and some of the world’s biggest bands have changed line-ups loads!

I think going on tour, having lots of songs and music videos would be super cool.

Music can save people, but it can’t in the commercial way it’s being used. It’s just too much. It’s pollution.

Music is not math. It’s science. You keep mixing the stuff up until it blows up on you, or it becomes this incredible potion.

Doo-wop is special music to me because it’s so straightforward and melody-driven and captures emotions.

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.

I just know that I’m a fan of all different kinds of genres. You’re supposed to be free doing music, and that’s how I feel.
