I wasn't raised in a household where it was considered abnormal to be gay. So for me to meet people who use the word 'f-ggot' as an insult, with a derogatory meaning, I can't take it.

I hope that people can relate to my music, it's very relatable, it's very fun, it's very honest.

Be happy with being you. Love your flaws. Own your quirks. And know that you are just as perfect as anyone else, exactly as you are.

You have to wait a few days in between selfies. I know people who post multiple in a day, and some of them are my close friends, and I'll be like, "Enough!" There are only so many times in a day that I need to see your beautiful face.

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

I know that my fans will probably learn a lot about me by listening to my music, if they really listen to the lyrics.

Some people will find any reason to hate. Don’t waste ur time. Lighten up! It takes so much less energy to smile than to hate. Enjoy life.
