Sometimes when you sing someone else's song over and over again or songs that have been given to you, you're afraid to go out there and write one yourself.
I feel like there's something in me that desires to express myself even more and not be so afraid of a solo endeavor.
We were little girls coming off of a TV show and had a team of people trying to sculpt us into something we weren't.
I'm friendly - maybe that's taken as flirtatious. Which I don't mind!
I wanted to represent for Polynesians, and that was always my goal, because not everyone knows about us, and I just want to represent for them.
We finally have a damn voice. We feel like actual artists. We were little babies in the beginning. Now we're becoming big girls.
We're quite different from each other. Camila is the pop girl, Lauren likes the indie sound, Normani and I love R&B, and Ally is the pop-country, kind of church girl.
Growing up, for me, it was in a musical family, so my mum and her brothers and sisters always sang. Every time I tried to join their group when I was little, they were like, 'Ah, darling, you're not too good - just sit back and watch us.'
I love me some Mariah Carey. I grew up on that because of my mother.
'Bridges' is definitely one of the heart-wrenching ones. It's definitely a message that needs to be shared out there into the world. Something we wanted to share with everybody and let them know is that we know love can conquer hate.
For the winter, I think dark lips, any dark lip for the winter is really cool.
When it comes to our makeup artist asking me, 'So, what do you want today?' I'm like, 'I don't know.' I have no idea what I want that day, or I just go with what I feel.
I'm very chill, and when I'm out, I want to make sure that my outfit makes me feel comfortable and that I don't feel restricted.
We used to take it really hard when people criticized us about what we were wearing, but not anymore.
We think you should show your flaws to fans because that's what makes them love you more.
I don't want to let any of my family down.
The way you carry your name is the vibe people get off it.
Honestly, we get our energy from our fans. When we are on stage, whatever they are feeling, we also get the same feeling.
Oh first, let me tell you how amazed I am by the wealth of talents in the Philippines. I remember watching a lot of home videos about Filipino artists, and they are really very talented. That really motivated me to always do my best and to stay inspired.
With the advances in technology, it's so easy connecting to our fans. There's Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I try to reach out to them. I try to update them on what's happening in my life, what books I'm reading, or whatever I do.
