There's a huge difference between who I am when I make music and who I am the rest of the time.

Living in New York, you get a lot of confidence; when I go back to Michigan, I realise how obnoxious and demanding and straightforward I am.

True artistic expression lies in conveying emotion.

I can choose to be happy, or choose to be miserable every day - waiting until I die.

You are so much more than you are in this moment; you never know how great you can be. Don't give up on you, I didn't give up on me.

I don't even really like rap music.

I put everyone in my school on to Nicki Minaj before she blew up. I was obsessed with her and I was like, 'If she's the best female rapper then I've got to be better than her.
