I've had a lot of people come up to me after shows and tell me that "Dollhouse" really helped them with whatever they were going through with their families. I thought that was really amazing, that it could mean one thing for me but another thing for someone else.

I'll always definitely strive to write songs that are going to help people feel confident in themselves.

I'm glad I got to introduce myself to America by doing a Britney [Spears] song, haha!

I just think that pop music is very interesting in how it can reach so many people. I like that I can tell stories and I just wanted to be heard more, I guess. That's why it's pop, but in my mind I don't really view my music as pop, I don't really view it as anything. I just look at it as a picture, I like visuals.

I love directing my music videos and writing video treatments, and I think it's all just because I love the visual aspect of it as well.

I never had a lot of friends growing up so having this insane amount of love and support really means a lot to me.

I'm very, very in touch with my emotions.
