If I had to give my younger self some advice, I think it would be that you have to laugh at things-things that scare you, things that intimidate you, things that hurt you, When you're humiliated, when you're rejected, you have to be able to take these bad experiences you have and turn them into a great dinner party joke.

Live your life like you're 80 looking back on your teenager years. You know if your dad calls you at eight in the morning and asks if you want to go out for breakfast. As a teenager you're like no, I want to sleep. But as an eighty year old looking back you have that breakfast with your dad. It just little things like that, that helped me when I was a teenager in terms of making choices you won't regret.

You have to believe in love stories and prince charming and that eventually you'll find your own happily ever after.

I still like to live in a whimsical world that seems more romantic and fantasy-related because real life seems so hard

For me, genres are a way for people to easily categorize music. But it doesn't have to define you. It doesn't have to limit you.

I think that as you grow up, as you get older, we can't get bitter, we can't get jaded.

Sometimes the people you thought would be there forever somehow aren't.
