I grew up not really having anything, so the idea that I can take care of my family and my friends now is a really cool bonus.

You could travel the world, but nothing comes close to the golden coast. Once you party with us, you'll be falling in love, Oooooh Oh Oooooh!

I don't feel like I'm very pop-star lame, but I'm definitely not hipster-cool.

I was really sick and I walked outside of the bus and realised; oh no I'm not allowed to be sick. I'm not allowed to say; sorry no I can't pose with you for a photo because I'm sick. I am a super human now, or I have to be one.

A lot of the time people don't even know what they want until they see something new.

My dad would give me $10, which is a lot of money when you're 9, to sing at church, on tables at restaurants, at family functions, just about anywhere.

We're technology obsessed. I think it's easier to text than to actually say hi to someone.
