Sometimes bravery is as simple as following your gut.

Maybe you won't find a place where you fit in for a very long time, but you eventually will.

When I was 8 years old, it mattered what my favorite singer said and wore and expressed opinions about. And if I have a chance to matter to the growth and hopes and wishes of little girls, that's something I can't take lightly. So I do factor them in when I'm thinking about what to wear, and what to say, and whether or not to go out to bars even thought I'm not twenty-one.

A song is a favorite song, not because the singer can hit and hold a high note, but because of the words, their meaning.

I've always felt music is the only way to give an instantaneous moment the feel of slow motion. To romanticise it and glorify it and give it a soundtrack and a rhythm.

You better lose yourself in the music

I've always strived to be successful, not famous.
