“I don’t think you can be too ashamed of anything as long as you were being yourself. I think why people feel, um, so entitled over me is that they’ve watched me grow up. But that’s a blessing and a curse.”

You can’t blame me for who I am.

People like controversy because that’s what sells.

Embarrassment is the worst! It’s the feeling of having your entire body go numb and not knowning what to do with yourself for that one moment

Little moments attach themselves to other little moments and collect into big dreams. We become what we experience.

The struggles I’m facing, the chances I’m taking.Sometimes they knock me down, but, no, I’m not breaking.I may not know it, but these are the momentsI am going to remember most, just got to keep going.

Any time I do something, I want to remember this is what separates me from everybody else.

There’s so much negativity in the world and what you only need to hear is all the love. People try to say to me, ‘I just heard someone say this or that about you,’ and I just ignore it because it’s irrelevant. Love is what makes the world go around, and that’s all we need to focus on.

If you believe in yourself anything is possible.

I never had, like, a nanny that took care of me. My mom always fed me breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

There’s nothing more fun than being out on stage and getting the vibe from the crowd. There’s nothing like being on a set where you are there to make other people happy and to make them laugh. That’s the best job in the world.

Do what you are afraid to do.

Life is a climb and it’s a struggle getting to the top but the drop to the bottom can be quick and so I think you have to embrace every moment of the day.

Remember that only God can judge us; forget the haters, because Somebody loves you.

Music is the love of my life. It’s a total escape from reality. Music transports you to another place, someplace unexpected and meaningful.

I tell kids not to be on the Internet. It’s dangerous. It’s not fun. It wastes your life. You should just be outside playing sports, instead of sitting in front of any type of screen.

I’ve never just been able to be alone, and I’m obsessed with being alone and hearing my thoughts. I’m trying to take this alone time — the five minutes I do have a day — to learn as much as I can.

Why do I see in a world gone blind? I always longed to find the answers, took chances. Asked for the veil to thin. Fault? Mine. Left questioning; my eyes, blessings or curses?

I may not see or feel it instantly, but I know it’s there and with time that blessing will uncover itself.

You will never love another the same way, again. And I’m still trying to figure out if that’s a blessing or a tragedy.

My birth was a blessing. Sent to live and die on Earth; it’s a blessing. We each have a star; all you have to do is find it. Once you do, everyone sees it, you won’t be blinded.

My blessings always consistent but I’m still prepared for the worst.

The fame isn’t important to me. It’s a blessing to have. Having so many people that support me, that love me and listen to my music, is beautiful.

I think that by staying true to myself and making music from my heart, the blessings come.

Having strong enemies is a blessing.
