I genuinely love you all and the fact that some of you are not feeling so great at the moment really really upsets me.
I talk about things in music that I would never talk about with my best friends, which I think seems like a weird thing, but my justification in my head as to why it's okay is because it's cryptic enough and there's enough meat around it to make it all okay and no one can really prove what any of the songs mean.
I was definitely scared of fashion growing up just because I didn't want people to think I was gay. But now that I'm out, I feel like it's such a personal journey for me that I'm going on every single day where I feel more and more confident and comfortable to wear the clothes that I want to wear, and to have the interest that I have, and to paint my nails if I want to.
I'm angry because homophobia is still a thing...
I love you as much as I love Nutella.
What kind of sick person would answer rainbows?
Sleeping like an internet person takes commitment, it all starts in the late afternoon.
I wanted to write a song about war and that classic 'We want you' recruitment style from the point of view of the recruiter.
I'm on the path to being someone I'm equally terrified by and obsessed with. My true self.
I feel like I have just been really, really lucky to meet some of the most successful and great actors alive today.
Right after something happens to me, the first thing I'll do is go write when those feelings are really, really fresh. I'll hum a tune into my phone sometimes.
I have a majority girl audience on YouTube.
I think that the beauty of 'Spud' is that everyone can connect to the character of Spud in so many ways. It's about real experiences that happen to kids all the time.
I watched pretty much every coming out video on YouTube that has ever been posted; I watched it in between 14 and a half and 15. Those coming out videos, and those people on YouTube, those brave, brave, brave people on YouTube, without them, I don't know where I'd be.
