“Music gives me courage and takes care of my mind.”

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.

The word ‘artist’ means so many different things, and I feel like to be a real one, you really have to do it all.

It’s rare for anyone to value the opinions of a teenage girl.

I work with my brother Finneas, and he produces all of my music in his little bedroom in our house.

I’ve always been a singer. I never really decided I was gonna be a singer. It just kind of – I just sung a lot.
