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

When I was 6, I opened my mouth and didn’t stop singing. I had a voice and wanted to use it.

I’m going for the concert, but I’m really going for the corn.

The number one priority in life is to take care of yourself and make sure you’re happy.

As long as I was well fed, I was a very, very nice child. I just used my imagination and played with Barbies. I was pretty easy.

I get inspiration from literally everything and anything.

If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all. And if you do have to say it, make it really funny so I can screenshot it and save it for later.

If I wasn’t five-foot, I wouldn’t be who I am! My size is a huge part of me.

Everybody takes at least 20, so even if you see a good selfie, it probably wasn’t the first one. So my tip is to just not take it too seriously and have fun.

I can’t speak for boys because I’m not one! But I just imagine they think differently.

I’ve always wanted a ‘Full House’ reunion, so when you see stuff like this comes back, it’s super exciting.

I have so many goals and aspirations that sometimes I lose myself.

I didn’t feel self conscious ’cause my sisters and I all had thick brows, and by the time I got to the age that I could be self conscious about them, they were in style!

I have always looked up to Adele and Christina Aguilera as singers ever since I was very young, and now my favorite male singer is Hozier.

I like to emphasize my eyes because if I do it well enough, then they look very blue.

I didn’t realize I was in an awkward phase when I was in an awkward phase. It was when I was between the ages of 9 and 11. I was homeschooled.

I’m very lucky; I have a lot of knowledge. My favorite band is The Beatles, so a lot of inspiration for my music comes from them, too.

The book is all there, all at once, between its covers. But if you want to read the story and understand it, you must begin with the first page, and go forward, always in order. So the universe would be a very great book, and we would be very small readers.

It’s always a dream to be on the cover, it’s one of the things an athlete always aspires to do, to be on the cover of a videogame, but I never thought I would get to do it this quick.

I will tell you what man is. He is a freak, an ejected foetus robbed of his natural development, thrown out into the world with a naked covering of parchment, with too little room for his teeth and a soft bulging skull like a bubble. But nature stirs a pudding there.

Annual plants are nature’s emergency medical service, seeded in sounds and scars to hold the land until the perennial cover is re-established.

I always feel better after I post a cover. Even if it’s doing the little 15 second covers.

I want to be on the cover of ‘GQ.’ That’s a personal goal.

Another phenomenon developing in Kenya is ethnic cleansing – and that’s the thing that has made me very sad. Because some people will use the cover of the problems of rigged elections to do things that are unacceptable like ethnic cleansing and displacement of people. It’s completely unacceptable.

Prayer is like lying awake at night, afraid, with your head under the cover, hearing only the beating of your own heart.
