I give big ups to people who are very big on social media, whether they’re doing vlogs or whatever. It takes a lot of effort.

I think anyone can do anything they dream of if they put their mind to it and put in the work.

Sometimes I get more excited for shows that I know are going to be quieter because it gets me more inspired to be more of a showman and be more of an entertainer and forces me to work harder.

Manuka honey is magic.

I want to graduate high school, so it’s very important to me, and I’ll be focusing hard on that as well.

If I don’t have cereal on the bus, I’m going to be really upset.

Mercy,’ I love conceptually because I feel like you can either think about it as if it were a girl – which it sounds like it could be about a girl – but I like to picture it as ‘pleading for mercy for my career’ type of thing.

My advice to anyone with a dream is to never stop pursuing it.

I like dancers. I have a thing for girls who dance.

I’m kind of still learning my voice and learning my style.

I used to write stories. Handwriting stories in school were a big deal for me. That’s kind of what I did.

You look back at people like Elvis and The Beatles and still get their music because it’s timeless. That’s what I want.

I’ve never had a scandal, but I don’t know if that’s so much because I’m perfect, or because people aren’t caring enough yet. Give it some time. I’ll probably be very upset, but it’s a part of the gig.
