No matter what you do, no matter what your profession is, no matter how old you are, everybody deals with haters.

I'm a big perfectionist! I'm trying to channel super-confident women like Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey and Beyonce, because I realized that if you want something, you really have to go for it, just like they do.

I did stand-up for my grandparents every day when I was, like, eight.

I was raised in a household where being gay was like, the most normal thing. My brother is gay, all of my best friends are gay. When my brother came out of the closet, it wasn't a big deal for my family.

Moonlight is very honest and very special to me. I feel like this is the most personal music I've made, by far. I'm very proud of it and I'm very excited. It's scary...it's vulnerable and kind of terrifying.

I just love to shop. If I could, I would shop every single day in every single store and spend all of my money which, you know, I do anyway.

Don't ever doubt yourselves or waste a second of your life. It's too short, and you're too special.
