I'm not gonna apologize for who I am and what I've gone through.

Even one kid going hungry in America is one too many. How can we stand by when the reality is that there are more than 12 million underfed children in the U.S.? We can make a difference.

I know you can't go back, so I try to do all the things other teenagers do.

I need honor in my life from somebody playing for keeps.

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.

The world when I was 13 wasn't truly driven by tabloid magazines and social media and reality shows. I was able to have a little more of a private life.

Janis Joplin is definitely one of my biggest influences. She taught me how to feel music, and I don't think there's anyone like her that could bring such pain and emotion to a song.
