In this business you have to develop a thick skin, but I'm always going to feel everything. It's my nature.

No one has the right to criticize you for how your body looks, but they will. One thing I've learned from experiencing this exact kind of criticism is that no one else can label your body except for you. No one gets to have a place in your mind if they weren't invited there by you. So please do me this one favor: Don't let their ugly words into your beautiful mind.

I like shirts and sweaters that fall off the shoulder or plaid button-ups.

I get so excited when a song I wrote that's very personal to me goes No. 1 and I look down and see people singing the words back to me.

There are two ways you can go with pain: You can let it destroy you or you can use it as fuel to drive you.

I've found time can heal most anything and you just might find who you're supposed to be.

My mom and I have always been really close. She's always been the friend that was always there. There were times when, in middle school and junior high, I didn't have a lot of friends. But my mom was always my friend. Always.
