I always wanted to be someone in the entertainment industry. In my eighth grade slideshow, when everyone was like "show us what you want to be," everyone [said] doctor, lawyer, [but] mine literally said rapper. I wanted to be a musician, I wanted to be a superstar, I wanted to be on stage, I wanted to perform, I wanted to be in movies. But as you grow up, those dreams kind of fade away.

I think you have to proactively seek out things that inspire you and consume as much of those things as possible.

You can never compare a stadium full of people to statistics online ... There's something about seeing people's faces, and it's amazing [seeing how] things online can also be translated offline.

There is no shame in falling down but there is pride in getting back up.

Finding like-minded people is very important. It's hard to be a happy meal in a room full of sad people.

I've learned from people, being in the weird situations that I get in. Like, dressed as my mom kissing Seth Rogen - that's a thing that happened.

I was super doubting myself and if I was even cut out to live this life, but then the fans came to my rescue. And I think we all have those moments, but every failure is necessary, especially in the entertainment industry.
