“I have a very intrusive life, I guess you could say. I think that a lot of people know too much about me, truthfully.”

I was home-schooled my whole life, pretty much.

You should realize that there is only one version of yourself in the world and that your flaws make you beautiful.

I hope it never gets to that point that I’m gonna have people around me that are using me. I’m very good with noticing that.

The most beautiful people are those who are truly themselves, and that’s what I want to show my fans.

At the end of the day, if you feel like you’re a good person, and your intentions are good, then that’s all that matters.

I truly believe that diversity is so important, and I hope that I can use my platform to encourage and inspire other aspiring female artists.

Most of my songs are written about movies or TV shows – they’re not about me.

A lot of people are really focused on me. I always say, ‘Why focus on someone more than yourself?’

It’s scary being in a room with producers and saying, ‘Here’s my idea,’ when I’m scared to get shot down.

I would definitely say I’m predominantly a pop artist, obviously, but my music is different. It’s not just top-40-radio-type music.

We don’t really have any big family traditions; just spending time with each other is the most important part.

I like when my freckles show or when I do shoots and they accentuate them. It’s such a compliment.

Dear Society’ really is my letter to society where I express the anguish I’ve been caused from such an image-based industry and culture we live in.

You shouldn’t feel unsafe walking to school. It’s where you should feel safe. Our parents should feel their children are going to be taken care of, looked after.

I’ve always had a passion for music – it’s a real part of me.

People say I’m too skinny, but if I gain a little weight, they say I look chubby. You can’t please everyone. As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.

Life is short and truth works far and lives long: let us speak the truth.

Her monotone life became a kaleidoscope prismatic in love.

Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain and boredom.

The pain grows within you only to end within you.

Life is all about swinging between everything good and everything bad.

My love is like a trigonometry problem simplified by my heart’s mint green genies, the broken being in me sings a million epiphanies, my life is but colors spilled in polaroids of caring butterflies.

I would be nothing if not for the woman in my life for their quiet yet deafening resilient influence.

Just like roses come with thorns, beauty comes with flaws. You could be the only rose in someone’s life full of thorns.
