You'll always know more in the future than you know now.

Factoring in millions of people when I'm writing a song is not a good idea. I don't ever do it.

My parents taught me never to judge others based on whom they love, what color their skin is, or their religion. Why make life miserable for someone when you can use your energy for good? We don't need to share the same opinions as others, but we need to be respectful. When you hear people making hateful comments, stand up to them. Point out what a waste it is to hate, and you could open their eyes.

There's room for role models who make mistakes.

I don't have any interest in going out to clubs. I love people, and I love socializing, I just don't have any interest in being drunk.

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.
