I love hugging people. I still hug everybody in my meet-and-greet lines.

Don't ever regret being honest. Period.

I don't have big security guards. I don't have an entourage.

My favorite thing in the world is telling stories, and most of what I do is telling stories through music.

Sometimes bravery is as simple as following your gut.

I don't like it when people who are young act like they're 40. That's taking too much on. Putting up a shield and trying to act like you're so mature or whatever - I don't try to act mature. Some people might say I'm mature for my age, but it's not something I'm trying to do, you know? I'm just me.

Anytime someone tells me that I can't do something, I want to do it more.
