What I wanted to be and who I am is a singer and a songwriter. I wanted to be onstage, and I wanted the world to hear my music. The product of that is fame and the disgusting celebrity that goes along with it. But celebrity does not equal creativity.

Don't care what people gonna think of you, do what you wanna do and seek just your happiness.

I'm just singing about my own life. Singing about all the little stories in my life and the things I've been through.

I feel like my secret magic trick that separates me from a lot of my peers is the bravery to be vulnerable and truthful and honest.

I'm kinda saving myself for Miley Cyrus.

I don't need the Prince Charming to have my own happy ending.

I was a hop-around. I hung out with the rockabilly crew, the guys who were trying to be rappers, the funny kids.
