Never believe anyone who tells you that you don't deserve what you want.

I don't like to feel like I'm some fragile package that has to be shipped by high-priority mail and handled with white gloves.

I always wanted to know, and I always used to daydream, about what it would be like to stand on a really big stage and sing songs for a lot of people, songs that I had written... Daydreaming was kind of my No. 1 thing when I was little, because I didn't have much of a social life going on.

My parents have always been very respectful of me so I’ve always been really respectful of them. My worst fear is to let them down so that’s why I don’t misbehave.

You've got every right to a beautiful life

Be good to people. Be good to every single person you come into contact with. My best friends are great musicians. But more than that, they're great people.

I'm shining like fireworks over your sad, empty town
