Embarrassment is the worst! It's the feeling of having your entire body go numb and not knowning what to do with yourself for that one moment

My mom started understanding how many people take advantage of a child, so she hired smart people to protect me in that way. I'm happy that when I was younger, people protected me and put me in a position where I can now control my music.

As soon as I step on that stage, nothing matters. I don't think of it as work. It's just so much fun.

I'm going to tell my contestants: Be Bernie Sanders. Be the person people want and love.

I want to be real. I want to be a real person. That's what an artist is. An artist has to be honest. Without honesty, there's nothing.

When you're younger, you're more selfish, because there's so much self-exploration, you're in your own mind.

The best part of my carreer is getting to meet so many different people, because I learn so much from everyone.
