I recommend doing some sort of acting class, something that can eventually get you in front of an agent or a manager, and practice is very important.

Cool is overrated. Be a geek for what you Love

I love Cher Lloyd's music. I didn't actually hear her music as I was creating my own, but it's cool that we have styles that are considered to be similar.

Practicing going over scenes and in front of the camera just to see how that feels, and then ultimately just finding a way to expose yourself to people. That’s what I did.

The recording process was basically me meeting with different writers, going into their studio, starting a song and just hanging out and chatting and getting to know how they work. Everybody has a different writing process so there was a lot of getting to know people, which can be fun and stressful at the same time.

I love Beyonce. She's so fierce. I also love Lily Allen, and she was an influence on my music.

I think it's awesome to be able to make people laugh.
