A lot of people do things out of fear. A lot of people make choices, based on thinking, they won’t have a career in five years. I know where I am, I know what I do is worth something and does not have an expiration date on it. I’m not making choices — in any capacity of my life, with any kind of endorsement, with any kind of product — out of fear.

I really love going to shows where I'm sandwiched between people, and you don't know if the sweat on you is yours or the person's next to you.

I grew up listening to gospel. That was the only thing that I had reference to because that was what my family was involved with.

You know you're living right when you wake up, brush your hair - and confetti falls out!

I just changed as a person and have always been changing constantly from fifteen to twenty-three.

You can get through it and you can land on your feet triumphantly and strong.

I still want to make a pop record. I want to make a more sonically current pop record. I maybe want to make people move a little bit more.
