Stay true to who you are, even though that sounds cliché. It's something that's important - doing what feels right for you.

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

I feel people are seeing me as a true artist rather than a singer, or an entertainer, or a girl who just makes songs.

It's hard to be taken seriously if you're a young, female artist making pop music; you never know how people are going to react.

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

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

The fact that people are embracing me so well as a new artist and being taken so seriously is something I'm really surprised by.
