“When I was 11, I decided to start rapping, playing guitar, and writing songs. Everything really blossomed from there.”

If I can, I love staying in pajamas all day and watching movies and eating good food.

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

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.

The great thing about fact-based decisions is that they overrule the hierarchy.

You are the only one who gets to decide what you will be remembered for.

Decide where you are going and how you are to get there. Then make a start from where you now stand.

The most important decision you make is to be in a good mood.

It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.

It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.

It is insane that two men, sitting on opposite sides of the world, should be able to decide to bring an end to civilization.

Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.
