“It’s amazing having so many people care so much about what I’m doing.”

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.

I’m proud to say I’m a role model for kids.

I believe vitamin C can fix everything.

I haven’t really found the right person. That sounds like an older person thing to say, but I’m too busy and – not in a bad way – don’t want to waste my time.

I picture myself now, and I picture myself in 30 years, and I’ll probably be the same. I’ll still think I’m not the greatest singer I can be.

No matter where you play, a stadium or an arena, when you’re present on stage, it’s going to feel like a theater.

So many of my songs are based on things that either happened to me or to someone I know, but there are also ones where I’ve written a made-up story. All of them are about very real emotions, and I just find different ways to express them.

As I’m growing, so is my music.

I’m all over the place with muffins. Carrots are great. Banana, chocolate chip, they rock, too.
