“For my everyday look, I don’t like going anywhere without eye makeup.”

I want to be open to the kids who only speak Spanish, the kids who speak only Spanglish, and the kids who don’t even speak Spanish at all.

I really have a passion for food. Of course, music, but behind that, it’s food.

When I get out of work early, or if I have some time before I go into the studio, I go to Disneyland for a few hours with my siblings. We just have fun, go on all the rides together, and eat all of the good food.

I wrote ‘Wish U Were Here’ for Cody Simpson, and he invited me to perform with him on tour and be in his music video. He was shy at first. I think it’s the surfer boy in him that makes him so mellow.

Working with Bruno Mars would be really awesome. I’m such a fan of his, and I love that he’s a real artist.

I feel like a little beast when I’m onstage, and I feel like my fans have that little beast inside of them, too: this hunger for life.

There are days I’m feeling lazy, and my mom will remind me, ‘Beyonce also only has 24 hours during the day.’ That always keeps me going.

My little siblings keep me grounded. I’m a kid at heart.

I wrote ‘Oath’ for Cher Lloyd because there were really no best-friend anthems out there. Not only did she love it, she wanted me to rap on it, too!

I look up to Rihanna and Rita Ora. They obviously wear a lot of gold jewelry and have this urban feel to them.

My main focus when I do my makeup is my eyes – I accentuate my eyes, and they look bigger. More ‘va va voom,’ I guess you can say.

I got discovered off of YouTube.

My fans can see me grow up.

I never lie to my fans.

When I’m on family road trips, there is always Ranchera playing.

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

One day in the shower, you figure it out. It’s a special day in a man’s life. I was like, ‘Oh, I found me a hobby.’

A typical day for me is I’m writing when I’m not directing.

There’s nothing to win in yoga. You just do what you can do, one day to the next.

There’s always gonna be people that are scared of it. But at the end of the day you give those bullies, those people, that are so ignorant, if you give them the power to affect you, you’re letting them win.

I don’t think in this day and age that, aside from two or three people, there isn’t an actor who can just do one thing.

I consider that 9/11 was the day when war was started against my own work and against myself.

Most of the choices we make each day may feel like the products of well-considered decision making, but they’re not. They’re habits.

There’s always gonna be people that are scared of it. But at the end of the day you give those bullies, those people, that are so ignorant, if you give them the power to affect you, you’re letting them win
