You reflect on the people who used to be in your life, and it's like, 'Wow, I can't believe that person was ever really in my life.' But people are put into your life for seasons, for different reasons, and to teach you lessons.

I am in competition with no one. I have no desire to play the game of being better than anyone. I am simply trying to be better than the person I was yesterday.

Artistically, you want to be able to do a lot of things that can challenge you to not just stay in the same thing.

Be yourself,its the best thing you can be.

I love that I can stay connected with my fans and be able to tell them what's going on - their opinions are so important to me. But at the same time, it's very weird. I think the Internet can be a great thing but also really evil. Something can instantly hurt your feelings.

I realize everybody wants what they don't have. But at the end of the day, what you have inside is much more beautiful than what's on the outside!

You are who you surround yourself with. I know that's such a cliche quote, but it's true.
