“Never let the negativity get to you. There are gonna be a lot of people you have to plow through, but as long you believe in yourself, that’s all that matters.”

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.
