“I’m trying everything. But voice work is the best thing you ever imagined. It’s not about how you look, and you can go to work in your PJs.”

I was really scared to stay home alone when I was kid, and I would freak out whenever there was a noise after my parents left.

When I was growing up, we went to Musikfest every year, and I have vivid memories of the corn on the cob.

Music is where I started. It’s kind of the base of everything.

I think I started doing covers when I was… what, like 9 or 10?

I’ve never paid too much attention to what other people have said or to what other people have tried to make me be.

I’ve never had to fend for a child’s life, which sounds very terrifying.

I go through my comments sometimes, and I’ll just take snapshots of the terrible ones and send them to my friends.

It always feels good to put something you’re proud of out in the world.

I would always do the songs that I wanted to do and the songs that my parents wanted me to do.

Everybody has their own story – it’s who you are. If I wasn’t five-foot, I wouldn’t be who I am!

I approach everyday personal beauty very naturally; I try to make it look like I’m not wearing makeup.

You just have to appreciate those kinds of things. So I wasn’t born with long legs – who cares. You just have to embrace it. Being body positive is really important to your overall happiness.

Everyone takes a bad selfie – the first thing is to know that.

It’s hard to see someone with a ‘perfect’ body and be like, ‘Why can’t I be like her?’ But that person was born to be who she is, and you’re born to be who you are.

Confidence is the most beautiful thing you can possess.

I guess we’ll see how it turns out and which one overpowers the other… but I couldn’t really see my life without them, both of them.

What you want to do with your best players is, it doesn’t matter how many goals and assists they get, but when they get goals and assists. The best players get them at the most important times, and that’s when we need those guys to come through.

In this world, I call the shots and I think I know best.

The best part of making music, for me, is collaborating and working with new people and fresh sounds and all those things that get people excited to continue in this business that we all love so much.

Dance Moms’ was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life!

I think I am a pretty good judge of character in general and try to surround myself with the best people I can.

In my view, all that is necessary for faith is the belief that by doing our best we shall succeed in our aims: the improvement of mankind.

Grow old with me! The best is yet to be.

We know that Heaven chastens those whom it loves best; being pleased by repeated trials, to make pure spirits more pure.
