We wrote a song, while sitting on a trampoline & we loved it so much that we ended up recording it as a duet

In middle school, my friends decided I was weird, and they didn’t like my hair. They ditched me and talked behind my back, which is cool — I’m over it. [laughs] One time I called them and said, “Hey, do you want to go to the Berkshire Mall?” They all gave me excuses and said no. So I go to the mall with my mom, and don’t you know, we run into all of them. Together. Shopping. My mom could see I was about to cry, so she said, “You know what? We’re going to the King of Prussia mall,” which was the mecca.

You need to be happy with yourself or you'll never be able to be happy in a relationship.

I still have mixed feelings about what growing up is - this thing that happens to everyone, so I've heard.

My hope for the future, not just in the music industry, but in every young girl I meet…is that they all realize their worth and ask for it.

Try things. Laugh a lot. Mess up. Apologize. Hug people. Take chances. Trust yourself. Lose things. Get over it.

I spend a lot of time balancing between faith and disbelief.
