Competition is great. And as long as it's friendly and not a malicious thing, then I think it's cool.

A lot of people who start work at a very young age never grow up because they never got that opportunity to be a child, so they hold on to that and still do a lot of childish, silly things.

You get yourself up for it somehow, and your endurance and the crowd gets you up, too.

When I'm feeling down on myself or not feeling good about who I am, or maybe something happened and I'm feeling depressed, I eat to fill that void. Afterwards I'll beat myself up about it. I regret doing it, but I'll turn around and do it again.

I have no clue why, but maybe sometimes when there's someone you don't hear from, it's the person you want to hear from the most.

I can be an emotional eater. Of late, I have been doing that, yes. It started when I was very little. My brothers were gone on tour a lot, and I would miss them so much.

There are artists, true performers that have come before me who have been a big inspiration to me. I hope I do the same for others.
