I think when you experience things in your life, dealing with good and bad things, you just become stronger in so many ways.

I have no regrets. I find everything happens for a reason and the reason why maybe this is happening is I won't take BS from anyone. And I think it's making me stand out on my own and be very independent and fight for what I believe in.

For me, success is a state of mind. I feel like success isn’t about conquering something, it’s being happy with who you are.

I love my jeans and my sweats-I’m really just a tomboy at heart. So it’s really hard for me to be like Kim Kardashian and be makeup-and hair-ready every time I go out of my house. I’m not a believer in that, you know? On the other hand, when you do wear those sweats, you’re like, Oh God, I should step it up a notch.

I love performing and having people hear my music more that anything.

These parents, they think I'm a role model for their kids, that their kids look at me as some sort of idol. But it's the parents' job to make sure their kids don't turn out that shallow.

Whereas before I was a young, blonde girl who would do what she was told. I know who I am as a person and I'm getting damn strong.
