“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.”

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.

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.

I believe that when you have fans, they invest in you not just as a singer but as a person as well. It’s not enough to just have good songs and a good voice.

I’m a huge romantic comedy fan and have been in this business for 17 years and I think for all 17 I’d hoped and dreamed and wished to some day be in a romantic comedy myself.

People are always so surprised when they meet me. Firstly, that I’m ‘so tiny’, and secondly that I’m ‘so sweet’. They seem surprised that they’re not scared of me.

I like the connection with fans and people who have been supportive of me. And I love the idea of real feedback and a two-way street, which is very, very modern.

My fans mean more to me than they will ever know. I call these people my friends and my confidence and if they are here to see me and they are here to support me, then that’s all I need in life.

It was so much easier to connect with my fans when I was smaller. I could answer every message, and I enjoyed that.

I make sure to use both Twitter and Facebook a lot which helps me connect to the fans.

I think my fans inspire me a lot. They’re a huge part of my career. I wouldn’t be where I am without them, so I try to feed off what they’re going through. I read their tweets and Instagrams.
