When I hear that high-pitched sound of all those people screaming together, it's like, I want to get on stage right now. It's the most amazing feeling.

My parents taught me never to judge others based on whom they love, what color their skin is, or their religion.

My first memory of loving music happened so early. We would always go to the beach in the summer and I would run from blanket to blanket, from family to family and just sing Lion King songs acapella.

I think doing something that's different, that's out of your comfort zone is important.

I've never wanted to use my age as a gimmick, as something that would get me ahead of other people. I've wanted the music to do that.

I think I've developed, as many people do, this sense of, 'Don't say the wrong thing, or else people will point at you and laugh.'

You can spend so much time wanting someone and they can have absolutely no idea.
