There's room for role models who make mistakes.

Be yourself, chase your dreams, and just never say never. That's the best advice I could ever give someone.

I love it when people say things to me in public and want to meet me, because I want to meet them! Early on, my manager told me, 'If you want to sell 500,000 records, then go out there and meet 500,000 people.'

It's never been about trying to look well-behaved. It's just how I am. I guess it's a weird thing to be 19 and not ever have been drunk, but for me, it just feels normal because I don't really know any other way. I don't know if I'd be comfortable getting wasted and not knowing what I've said. That doesn't mean when I'm older I won't have a glass of wine. I just don't think it's such a strange thing for me not to be wasted all the time.

There are no rules when it comes to love.

My parents moved across the country so I could pursue a dream.

And if you're horrible to me I'm going to write a song about you and you are not going to like it. That's how I operate.
