I never, ever in my heart want to hurt anyone.

I need somebody with staying power who will make me go weak in the knees.

I believe in equality for everyone. I believe everyone should have the right to love and commit to whomever they want. [...] All I know is that in God's eyes we are all the same. I just wish we could see through the eyes of God more often.

Even listening to a lot of other music inspires me, too. Like I'll find something and be like, "I love this group!" And I want to write something that's kind of like this.

Keep your sense of self; don't get caught up in what people want you to be.

I grew up having to care what people think; it was part of my job.I've been built up and torn down, built up and torn down. It's been difficult to tune people out, especially in the las few years. Now i'm starting to care more about me and not what everybody else thinks.

What people don’t understand is that it wasn’t about Dean or Eddie, it was about whether or not I was in the right place.
