The more people see of me, the more they'll realize that all I'm good for is MAKING MUSIC.
I'm a realist and a dreamer. There are certain things you can give certain people and certain things you can't.
I think that we have to be aware that people are allowed to make mistakes
I do suffer from depression, I suppose. Which isn't that unusual. You know, a lot of people do.
People say my content's mature, I don't think it's mature at all. I'm just a normal 20 year old. I'm opinionated.
When you're around kids you can be a little kid yourself and pretend that life is magic and you don't have to be one of those sweaty people going to work every day.
I knew I could sing but I always thought everyone could sing, that everyone was born with a singing voice. Even when I was getting interest from singing, I just thought 'what about all these guys?' Yes, I can sing, I have a good voice but there's so many people that can and do.
Some people reckoned that I looked healthier when I was bigger but I had terrible skin and no energy.
I fall in love every day. Not with people but with situations.
I'm of the school of thought where, if you can't sort something out for yourself, no one can help you. Rehab is great for some people but not others.
I dont ever want to do anything mediocre. I hear the music in the charts and I dont mean to be rude, but those people have no soul. Learning from music is like eating a meal - you have to pace yourself. You cant take everything from it all at once. I want to be different, definitely. Im not a one trick pony. Im at least a five-trick pony.
A song marks an occasion in my life and that's how I live my life, by songs.
I know definitive points in my life and in relationships because of my songs. I write my music so that I'll never be bored of it.
Christina Aguilera has her own style, so good on her. I don't think anyone's every told her to put on some leather chaps and get her noonie out. She's an amazing singer but a lot of her music I can't even hear.
