“I honestly believe going independent is the future. Social is changing, Spotify is changing, everything is changing.”

I’m obsessed with make-up, but my top tip doesn’t actually involve any products. Beauty starts with glowing skin, and the way to ruin it is with dirty, clogged make-up brushes.

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.

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

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.

At times, I need to let go of all mistakes I made and believe that could a better person than before. -That belief is the courage I need.

Man prefers to believe what he prefers to be true.

It is an absurdity to believe that the Deity has human passions, and one of the lowest of human passions, a restless appetite for applause

The greatest malfunction of spirit is to believe things.

The self-assured believer is a greater sinner in the eyes of God than the troubled disbeliever.

I never knew anyone, that examined and deliberated about nonsense, who did not believe it before the end of his enquiries.

I don’t believe in God. My God is patriotism. Teach a man to be a good citizen and you have solved the problem of life.

It is so hard to believe because it is so hard to obey.
