I'm not afraid to talk about the fact that women get paid less than men in the United States and how unfair that is. Talking about it at all is doing the work.

I never thought that I'd be a role model. Everyone kind of just made me a role model, and I hated that.

If I help one person out with getting through the struggles that I've had, then I've done my job on this planet and this life.

I believe that I definitely wasn't given this voice just to sing. I think it was given to me for a bigger purpose.

Go ahead and believe that no one shines brighter than you. Become amazing, and be happy.

I was compulsively overeating when I was eight years old.

Watch a movie that makes you laugh or listen to a song that makes you cry. Embrace your emotions and be proud of what you feel.
