“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.”

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.

In this universe the top end is light and the bottom end is real hard stuff.

It’s hard for me not to play on the West Coast. I love it out there.

You know, T can stand for anything. T stand for working hard. T stand for loving thy neighbor. T stand for feeding the hungry. T stand for just working, working, working, being happy on the set, you know, lifting everybody’s spirits. T stands for just a nice guy.

I guess when we get older, we try so hard to get our game back. Sometimes it happens, and sometimes it doesn’t.

I always knew ‘My Dawg’ would be a hit, but I didn’t even know what a hit was. When I made the song I knew it sounded hard.

What I might feel like is hard work, another person is dying to do.

My story is going to be completely different than someone else’s story in terms of hard work.

I still love to walk on stage and make people laugh, and I work very, very hard at it, and I take it seriously.
