“Every Christmas Eve, the elves will come and give us a new pair of pajamas.”

When I’m recording my album, I want to be acting, or when I’m on set, I want to be making music.

I couldn’t really picture a world without music. It would be quite boring.

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.

Christmas is a time when everybody wants his past forgotten and his present remembered.

Christmas Day was special because everybody is watching at home. That’s what I loved about Christmas Day because it shined the spotlight on the Lakers, on our team.

And we knew that all of the other leagues were at home and millions of people were watching. So it made it a special day to play on Christmas.

Christmas for me is all about spending time with my family. I cherish any chance we have to spend all day together making gingerbread houses, baking cookies, or sitting around and watching movies.

The Christmas message shows us that this love is for everyone. There is no one beyond its reach.

The smell of pine needles, spruce and the smell of a Christmas tree – those to me, are the scents of the holidays.

I beg to present you as a Christmas gift the city of Savannah.

The reason the world is not seeing Jesus is that Christian people are not filled with Jesus. They are satisfied with attending meetings weekly, reading the Bible occasionally, and praying sometimes.
