I look back at the past as fond memories but I'm able to move forwards in a new light, like I'm reborn.

When I wrote a song, it would have to be from something I was really excited about, or a melody that's been haunting me for weeks, or a message I wanted to convey lyrically. So it would have to start from something I felt very strongly about.

'Victorious' for me was a chance to write a song exactly how I was feeling - I was feeling triumphant, I was feeling like I could do anything as long as I've got the people that I love by my side. We're gonna go out and conquer it, and party, and just be awesome.

I played trumpet in middle school, and then I had to get braces, so I had to stop playing trumpet and start playing drums.

If I was a serial killer? How I would kill somebody? I'm actually a very compulsive person ... I'd chainsaw people.

I have my mother's hips...I have an apple bottom.

Music is always a healer. Music has never let me down. I know it’s my religion. There’s the idea that you can’t truly know happiness until you know sadness, so how can you heal yourself unless you’ve hurt yourself? I’m still figuring out who I am, but I know that I’m not who I was.
