(Talks about her grandmother Marjorie Finlay)"She was actually a recording star in Puerto Rico when my mom was growing up. My mom was always stuck sitting backstage somewhere or sitting in a front row, watching a performance her entire childhood. She thought that when her mom stopped performing she was relieved of those duties, but all I wanted to do was sing, ever since I was born, so she's always been backstage.

Beauty is sincerity.There are so many different ways someone can be beautiful.

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

so i sneak out to the garden to see you, we keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew, so close your eyes, escape this town for a little while.

My ultimate goal is to end up being happy. Most of the time.

I’ve never been shy or secretive with the fact that if you walk into my life, you may be walking onto a record.

My attitude has always been if you get better and you see success, that should motivate you to even work harder, so that's kinda how I approach everything.
