“I think my fans inspire me a lot. They’re a huge part of my career. I wouldn’t be where I am without them, so I try to feed off what they’re going through. I read their tweets and Instagrams.”

I want to make music that I would like if it came on the radio.

I’m not perfect. I’m not polished.

I wanted to convey the message of how I do what I want and how I run my own business, and I’m a woman in charge. I want all of my fans to know that that’s possible and feel empowered when they listen to my music.

I always say when someone says something negative about me, it’s really saying something negative about them.

I’m not opposed to acting. I do like to act.

I just love music. I think it’s art.

Not every girl who wears makeup feels like, ‘Oh, I’m so ugly without it.’ I wear makeup because it’s fun to put on, and I feel pretty with it on.

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.
