I believe everyone should be equal, and we should all love and support each other and express ourselves the way we want to express ourselves and be whoever we want. That's my motto.
Everyone is allowed to be vulnerable. I think women and men and dogs and cats and ants and aliens can all express themselves and be vulnerable.
I stay away from the title of 'role model.' I want to be a more realistic role model - not a perfect Barbie role model.
I think that any female who gets asked if she's a feminist... it's silly... it's so interesting when people ask females if they're a feminist. Of course every female wants to be equal!
I'm really stubborn, and I'm okay with that.
I only wear vintage clothing. I'm pretty obsessed with things in the '60s, like fashion and music, too.
I love Sia and how she hides her face. If I could pull off doing that, I totally would.
My music is like a baby pink frosted cake with sprinkles, but when you cut into it, there's a gooey, dark chocolate center.
When I was 16, I was watching '101 Dalmatians,' and my mom never let me bleach my hair, so I told her I was going to dye my hair like Cruella De Vil; she didn't believe me. I came home with my hair like this, and she didn't talk to me for, like, a week. It was really hilarious.
Part of the problem with America is that letting go of emotions is viewed as a weakness, but it's my strength. That enabled me to write my songs.
Remember that I am a human.
My whole mission in general, ever since I was fourteen, was to write music that would help people heal.
'Cry Baby' is like this fairytale version of me. A lot of it is based on real events, and some of it is made up to make it more whimsical.
I always cling to things that remind me of being a kid again.
I've always been super into photography and the visuals that support my music.
I really like milk. I'm a dairy queen.
I would love to collab with The Weeknd, for sure.
I auditioned for 'The Voice' because I really wanted to try and figure out a way to get myself out there. I really couldn't imagine doing anything else - music was the only thing that I really clung to.
I used music as therapy and embraced being a cry baby.
I'm a perfectionist, and even if something comes out great, it's still not perfect, you know?
