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

My first inspiration for acting came from the first episode of ‘Hannah Montana.’ That’s when I knew I wanted to be a singer and an actress.

I think the song itself, ‘Smoke and Fire,’ is just a metaphor for the feelings that you feel in a relationship.

That’s just a symbol of how you should deal with a breakup.

I take inspiration from people, relationships, stories, and I take inspiration from movies I see, books I read and songs I hear.

Every free day, every weekend, I am in a recording session. I’m very lucky to have such supportive people around me.

The first songs I learned was ‘Crazy’ by Patsy Cline and ‘At Last’ by Etta James. I had been growing up with the Beatles, Pink Floyd, great bands.

We all have stories for a reason, and if we keep them to ourselves, I don’t feel they would help anybody.

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.

I feel like the more I work on different songs and the more I work on my voice constantly…

My favorite makeup look was for my ‘Eyes Wide Open’ video done by Torsten Witte. It was so dramatic and definitely captured the magic of the video.

A bad hair day for me is when it gets flat and greasy.

There’s so many things that I’ve gone through that I want to share because there’s other teenagers that are going through the same things or will go through the same things.

I loved all of the ‘Zenon’ movies. Those were my jam mostly because of the fashion.

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.

If you’re going to sing on stage, wear lip stain.

Things happen differently when you’re actually here, so you can’t put out a general guideline that’s gonna show up in text and be interpreted. There are no rules. Just be yourself.

In computers, every ‘new explosion’ was set off by a software product that allowed users to program differently.

People do it differently in different cultures because they have different interpretations, that’s how it should be.

What I don’t do – and this is the only thing I do differently in writing for kids – is that I don’t revel in the gory details.

A viewer as opposed to a filmmaker might see a film differently. But I’m extremely comfortable with my style.

So then why get upset if somebody like me Tries to look at the world just a bit differently?

The chess game; how I set you up early, and how I’ll do it differently later.

To see things as you see them or to see things differently—until you have given the whole world its freedom—you’ll never have your freedom.
