I was taught very well. My mom raised me very well, and so did my dad. I've been very blessed to have great parents that cared about me.

I also try to read all of my fan mail. A lot of them send me candy, which I'm not allowed to eat 'cause my mom says it might be poisonous.

Chicken is good and never stop eating you will look like me and you will have hair like me and sing like me and be 500 pounds!!!!

My mom means a lot to me. My mom gave up everything. She moved with me and believed in me. She is awesome.

Not 'I don't give a f-' to just be reckless and do whatever, but 'I don't give a f- what they say.' … I know who I am and what I'm doing in my life and what I've accomplished and continue to accomplish as a performer, as a writer, as an artist, as a person, as a human being. I'm happy with the man I'm becoming.

I'm just a regular 16 year old kid. I make good grilled cheese and I like girls.

Everybody just tries to be successful. Like, sure, it's good to be successful, but if you're working that hard? This is how I feel, I work so many hours a day, and I'm always working, I'm always traveling.
