Women are capable of accomplishing just as much as men are but aren't always given the same attention and opportunity.
The whole reason why I have Twitter is to interact with my fans, for the most part.
For a long time I was kind of a glass-half-empty type of person.
I get my inspiration from a lot of bands actually. I really like AC/DC, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin and new bands. I like The Pretty Reckless.
It doesn't matter what a family looks like as long as you get the love, support and encouragement to be whatever you want to be and do great things in life.
Life is not going from bad to good, but it's a balance of the two that kind of goes up and down. There are bad things and there are good things.
I was raised with a lot of music around me at all times.
I used to always listen to Z100 in NYC and I love Elvis Duran.
I'm very excited to experience having all my own fans in the crowd who are really passionate about my music.
I do occasionally listen to One Direction and 5 Seconds of Summer.
As a fan of music, I don't like that artists release one body of music a year and then disappear because it's hard to relate to that. I wanted to be able to bring my fans along on my journey and have them really feel like they're living my life with me.
Blue' is actually my favorite chapter because it captures sadness more than the other chapters. That might sound weird but I've always been drawn to the rawest emotions.
I love feelings that are universal, things that tie every single person on this earth together. I think we all battle between what we know is right and what we feel is right every single day, and as much as that can be difficult it's absolutely human.
Once I make a decision, it's hard for me to listen to anybody else's opinion. I make a choice, and I'm like, 'This is it. I've thought long and hard about this, and this is exactly what needs to happen.'
Not an Apology' is a good title, because I speak my mind more than the average teenage girl does, and I don't ever really apologize for having an opinion and using strong words to describe things and talk about how I feel.
I already have a very low, raspy voice for a girl. When I'm sick, it sounds even raspier.
I think it's cool that my fans know more about me than a lot of other fans know about the people they look up to.
If I don't write a song, I only record it when it's played for me for the first time and I connect to it, am empowered by it, and have a deep connection to the lyrics.
Since I've been so honest with them, my fans know me very well so I don't think anything surprises them at this point. I've always told them exactly what's going on in my life and in my head, and because of that, I don't think anything is a huge surprise to them anymore.
My favorite song on the album is 'Paper Doll' because I think it's a message that a lot of people need to hear, and it's about something that a lot of people struggle with. But I don't victimize myself in the song and I don't allow the person who's trying to intimidate me get to me.
