I think it's great to dress up and play on all the girly features.
I'm definitely not trying to be, or am, a poster child for anything so structured. But I do have my own personal faith most definitely.
I consider myself a believer in something much bigger than myself, thank God.
I just changed as a person and have always been changing constantly from fifteen to twenty-three.
I think that a lot of teenagers think they got it all down-pat. Especially when they first move out and they're on their own for the first time. Oh this is easy, this is breezy. Then all of a sudden it hits you in your mid-twenties that maybe you don't know how to do your taxes still. There's all kinds of things and you start calling your parents up again.
We're technology obsessed. I think it's easier to text than to actually say hi to someone.
I think the world likes to pick apart different songs and play doctor with songs sometimes and make them into this big controversial thing.
I'm just singing about my own life. Singing about all the little stories in my life and the things I've been through.
Everybody wants to have a commentary on my life, like they are actually living it. Cool, comment all you want but I'm the one that's living it.
I was really sick and I walked outside of the bus and realised; oh no I'm not allowed to be sick. I'm not allowed to say; sorry no I can't pose with you for a photo because I'm sick. I am a super human now, or I have to be one.
For me especially, I always have a very cheery disposition and that's how I've always come off. So I forget that doesn't really allow me to have a bad mood.
I'm scared. I'm excited. I'm ready for whatever happens but I think that fame is what comes along with the territory when you open yourself up and become this story, this book for anyone to read.
What I wanted to be and who I am is a singer and a songwriter. I wanted to be onstage, and I wanted the world to hear my music. The product of that is fame and the disgusting celebrity that goes along with it. But celebrity does not equal creativity.
I've just always been very aware and careful of everything, so that I can be ready for the perfect opportunities as they come. I don't take anything for granted or wait for anything to come to me.
