I want to design jewelry for girls and guys... I'ma spread it out, but I'ma design, probably when I'm just designing furniture and buildings, I'll probably being the jewelry thing, too.
I think, if I had a dad, I would have went the normal college route. I'm so stoked my life panned out how it was.
I'm hungry for VMAs and Grammys. That's my main goal.

I never had a drink in my life. I don't smoke or anything.
