Sexuality shouldn't define anyone. It doesn't define me. Love should be at the core of what you do.

Being bullied means you’re special and that’s what I want all kids to know.

When I was 10 or 11 people started saying there was something special about my voice. But when I was 15 or 16 is when I really thought my hobby could become my career.

I think if I wasn't a singer I'd probably do make-up and beauty and hair and something creative like styling; I really enjoy it.

It's weird because when you initially write a song, you write it with no understanding that the world is maybe going to hear it one day. So when you go into the studio, you don't see the hundreds of people at a gig or the viewers on TV, you just write a song without any inhibitions or boundaries.

Do what makes you feel good. Remind yourself of what you're good at and make sure you do that.

I'm not afraid to say I'm very comfortable with who I am and I love who I love.
