Follow no path. Make your own.

So many people have tried to get happiness and serenity from outside things; it's pretty much common knowledge that is a road to nowhere. I've never heard anybody say, 'Fame made me the complete person I am.' Well, I'm sure people have said it, but nobody I respect.

If I was ever a teen idol, I’d kill myself.

I just think it's really important to be yourself and not trying to be something you're not.

When you are living your dreams it doesn’t feel like work, but it’s important to take some time away for yourself. It’s goot to make some time for your own company.

I thought it would be a great opportunity to work with someone that I really like and really respect as an artist [like Alessandro Michele].

It's nice if people ask to use your song. You have to make a decision as an artist how you feel about that.
