I think patience is the best thing to try to embrace.

As a kid I would always be in my bedroom constantly staring at the same four pink walls in it, aspiring to do all of these things. I had big dreams, and my dreams were bigger than what my life was at the time. I didn't understand why my life wasn't more interesting, but I was so oblivious to life outside of my bedroom because I was always there. I had to go about living my dreams.

If I'm experiencing a different thing every day and seeing a new environment every day, it can create a different mood or different feeling.

YouTube was a way for people to hear me and for me to say, "Hey, I can sing this song, I'm not in front of you yet because I'm too shy, but here's how I sound for now."

With different scenarios and different places, I think it's easier for me to get inspired; I'm seeing different things.

The fact that I'm getting appreciated and praised alone is a crazy moment because I never thought it would happen.

I feel New York is too crazy for me, especially when you go to Times Square.
