When I write, I like squeezing as many words as possible into each bar - I've listened to the Fugees and Lauryn Hill for as long as I can remember, so probably a big chunk of it subconsciously comes from that.
I'd never make something pointless that I don't believe in. I don't think I could do it.
I want to show people that I am comfortable enough to go on national television and just be myself.
Having a mom as a hairdresser was really awesome: I was always her test dummy. I've had every style, every color you could imagine.
I am stubborn enough to know not to change myself.
I always get criticized for my clothing because I like wearing jeans and T-shirts. There's nothing wrong with dressing sexy. It's just I don't want to be anything that I'm not. I'm not here to be a fashion icon. I am here to make songs.
If I'm kind of an outsider, it just happened that way, and people responded to it.
I would never wear anything because someone told me to.
When I was shopping around trying to get signed, I made it a point to say, 'This is who I am.' I dress the way I normally dress, and I just wanted to find a label that would accept me for that.
This industry kind of forces you to grow up very quickly.
'Wild Things' is saying, 'I don't have to belong anywhere. This is where I belong.' It's a place in the back of my mind that I created, and it's cool, and I love it here.
I think we all have the right to feel 100 percent beautiful and 100 percent confident without pleasing anybody 'cause we're not here for anybody else.
I think the media can definitely show more diversity - different sizes of women, different colours of women, just more diversity in general.
I don't wear a lot of makeup ever, even when I do interviews or when I'm on TV. I just keep it me, and I think it's important to show people I'm a regular person and regular people are beautiful, too.
It's hard to consider myself one when a lot of my fans and people who are calling me a role model are people my age and sometimes older than me. I feel like they're at the same walk of life that I'm in right now, and they can probably teach me things about life, too.
I feel New York is too crazy for me, especially when you go to Times Square.
If Ed Sheeran covered my songs, I would die. That would be unbelievable.
I don't really think I got the full high school experience, only because when I got to high school for the first year, it was grades 9-10. We didn't have older grades. But besides that, it was normal. It was a regular public school. We didn't have much going on. It wasn't too crazy.
Throughout my high school years, I was very quiet, I didn't have many friends. I distanced myself from a lot of people.
I feel like I'm in my own head a lot; it just feels amazing, but scary, weird and confusing.
