“I was an average student. I wasn’t any standout. I remember when people started to know who I was and the label offers, people started to get a little weird and be weird around me.”

I’m a very spontaneous person. When I see something that might be fun or different, I will try it.

I’d say some of my earliest scent memories are from home – just things that were around my house, and my mom’s cooking.

I’m always wanting to spread as much positivity as possible, so I really try to keep that the case with my fans and with the campaigns that I do.

There’s nothing that scares me more than, like, being in the ocean by myself.

Chance The Rapper is just unreal: he’s changing rap and really creating this whole amazing new style.

I think when you have raw emotion in a song, it makes it great.

I don’t really look into the past too much.

When I put that first Vine out, I was just doing it for fun; there was no wanting to become an artist.

I love Milan, and I’m not just saying that. It’s a city that gives me a great sense of euphoria. I can’t explain why, but I feel a special energy there.

I love acting. I would really love to act.

I’m always upset about not doing things as good as I think I could have because I care.

I think if you’re creating music, and you love the song, holding it back is just doing it an injustice.

I’m just growing so quickly, so my songs are quickly changing on me. But it’s fine. I love them for what they are and what they were, to me.

I feel like every time I write a song, it feels like the first time I wrote a song. It’s just as hard. It doesn’t get easier, but that’s why I love it: because it’s a challenge every time.

I always think, what type of 11th grader would I be if I was still at school? Or if I was home all the time, would I be at the gym 24/7? Would I be as good at guitar? I know I wouldn’t be as mature as I am.

Singing kind of came out of nowhere.

No offense to people who go on Tinder but I just feel like it’s ruining romance, I really do.

I hate how many people think “glass half-empty” when their glass is really four-fifths full. I’m grateful when I have one drop in the glass because I know exactly what to do with it.

Lukewarm people don’t really want to be saved from their sin; they want only to be saved from the penalty of their sin.

I’m regarded quite asexually by a lot of people. And the people that understand me the best are nearer to what I understand about me.

I don’t care what job you get. I care about if you put people down or raise people up.

Martial arts is not for hurting people, it’s for protecting people.

I can turn heartbreak into songs that help other people.

I was a very defensive kid ’cause I was really sensitive underneath and didn’t want people to know. So I came off as very tough and very angry.
