My focus has always been on talent over looks. This theme of people putting an emphasis on looks first has been a constant reminder throughout my life that most people don’t see things in the same way that I do.

I don't get a chance to be home much.

Even though I am extremely blessed to have accomplished many of my goals at such a young age, I am still reaching, still striving.

Appearance can always be changed, but the talent stays the same.

You're not living if you don't go out and try things for yourself.

There's no heaven on earth. God would have to guide her through the problems.

I didn't start singing with my eyes open until I was 19 - that's how shy I was!
