I guess, just being in a group, I had never thought to question my individual artistry.

We have a really incredible fan base... they're... the ones that are rooting for us and buying the music and streaming it. They're just really, really amazing... and we're just so thankful for them.

I think a capella and Christmas music just go really well together.

Honestly, the most excited I've ever been for Christmas is when I get a big fluffy blanket.

I fulfill a part of myself in Pentatonix. And then, we can all step away individually and do the specific things we like because we're all so different in musical tastes.

The first artist that did it for me with just production was James Blake... I was just blown away... I feel like James Blake kind of was the one that introduced me into that world.

I think people are always going to say things about you or disapprove of your relationships or your ideals or your beliefs or something, but I think you have to stand up and stay strong in who you are and not let it affect you.

Being able to wake up every day knowing I'm living out my dream of performing is the best feeling in the world.

Moving to L.A. and making albums was an exciting outlet, but I always thought I'd be slumming it job to job in N.Y.C. with hopes of being on Broadway!

I feel like 2013 was one giant snowball of me being confused with my place in life and within the group. A lot of it was self-confidence issues, a lot of outside issues, and a lot of me questioning the future of what I was doing. And my mistake was letting all that influence me so that I wasn't the best I could be in life!

Sara Bareilles is one of my favorite singer-songwriters of all time.

It depends on the arrangement. It could take 3 hours, it could take 3 days, it could take a week. 'Thrift Shop' took one arrangement session. We did it all in a circle that day. 'Evolution of Music' and 'Evolution of Beyonce' took a bunch of different sessions.

In my honest opinion, in 'Volumes I' and 'II,' we were still trying to figure out our sound.

A miserable karaoke experience is when people are trying really hard and trying to show off. You have to just be chill - that's what makes karaoke fun.

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with Shania Twain. I would always go sing the song 'Honey I'm Home.' I was, like, 12, and I'm singing about coming home from work and PMS and stuff.
