“Ed Sheeran wrote his songs, so I wanted to write my own songs.”

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.

I really love going back home. I think going back to a nice, relaxed little town is the best way to do it.

Being a sex symbol isn’t cool unless you’re in love with a girl, and she calls you a sex symbol.

I work out every day.

I’m still a little certain I’m a wizard.

You just have to play it cool. You don’t want everyone to know you’re an amateur.

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.

We’re all human at the end of the day, making mistakes. But learn from them is the key.

One should practice much sense, not much learning.

Trust me I never lose. Either I win or learn from it.

Coming up in the streets, I had to learn how to read people early on. I’m a very analytical person. I observe a lot of the things that people don’t notice.

Anything that is learned can be unlearned and relearned.

We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system.

Living alone, you can do so many fantastic things I’ve learned. You can like, walk around and have so many conversations with yourself and sing your thoughts. I think I’m the only one that does that.

You will never learn from people if you always tap dance around the truth.
