I carry around a little journal with me, a little notebook and a pen and just write all the time. Not necessarily actually sitting down and writing lyrics, just free-form writing, whatever's going on in my mind.

Growing up in the public eye was really tough. When you're 14 and your body is changing, your life is changing, and people are watching every step you make, it's really hard to deal with. But I was pretty lucky, people didn't watch me that closely.

Those situations are weird. You're in a room, and I knew they already loved this guy [for the role], so you're like, "OK, this is a different dynamic."

I've been sky-diving three times. I would go right now if someone told me the plane was about to take off. I love it. I'm an adrenaline junkie. I don't want to go bungee-jumping.

There are parallels between the music and film worlds, but they're really very different. I feel like they're just two different ways to channel my creativity.

As long as you're fierce and you have that inner confidence with yourself, you can get through anything.

Because I'm in an adult world and I'm really working, my age is just a number. It's not really who I am.
