I want girls to hear my music and want to play it again because it made their hearts feel good.

I think older people can appreciate my music because I really show my heart when I sing, and it's not corny. I think I can grow as an artist, and my fans will grow with me.

I won’t even pretend I didn’t care. I wanted to win. I mean, if you don’t care about winning the competition, why show up?

My manager is definitely a mentor as well as Usher.

There's gonna be times when people tell you that you can't live your dreams, this is what I tell them, Never Say Never.

Why would I give up so much to just be another singer or another person doing what he loves? I'm out here doing everything to the best of my capability to be the best.

Just being young and growing up in this business is hard. Just growing up in general is hard.
