“I would of never thought I’d be here but here I am and I’m so fucking grateful for everything”

It’s hard for me to trust people, and especially girls it’s – I don’t really like doing the whole opening-up thing with girls.

I just have a really strong mind and I just believe in myself a lot.

Anybody wherever I’ve ever been in my life, one thing they can always say good or bad, I was always doing music and I always wanted to be a rapper.

I love working, that’s my life. I’m a lonely person anyway. I don’t like being around a load of people so I can work on myself and think.

I am really competitive. I take my basketball very seriously, even though I’m not really that good. I take it very seriously.

It’s been an interesting life. I feel like I’m 40 years old at the age of 16.

You have to have a mentality, you can’t fail. You have to do it. That’s what’s helped me a lot.

I do believe in love. I don’t believe you find it at 16 but I think I believe in it.

I’m surrounded by friends and family who are not that impressed by celebrity. They don’t have any problem telling me I’m acting like an idiot or I’m not that funny.

To be a celebrity, I couldn’t think of anything more cringe-worthy.

I have three other siblings, so it’s all very equal – even when I get a little cocky, which I usually do. My brother keeps me in a headlock. He says that I’m not a celebrity in this house. I think I’m really chilled out and grounded.

I’ve been that celebrity on the red carpet, and I appreciate that something hasn’t got to just look good from the front, from the back, it’s got to look good at all angles.

I’m not trying to stay away from being a celebrity, I’m not saying, ‘I’m sooo not famous,’ I’m trying to continue being a musician in a time when everyone is very celebrity-led.

I don’t like being out in public too much. I don’t like going to bars. I don’t like doing celebrity stuff.

I feel like when you’re a celebrity, people dehumanize you and they forget you’re a real person.

It’s part of the celebrity process but my life has never been as interesting or as wild as what’s been printed about me.
