I like dancers. I have a thing for girls who dance.

As soon as I get time, I really wanna dig down and do some acting.

Every time I write a song my approach changes.

The first year I started hockey, I didn't know how to skate, so I got on the ice with all of the hockey players, and we were doing drills where we had to go backwards in figure eights. And I could not skate, and I just kept falling on my butt, and it was very embarrassing.

I don't like age barriers. I don't like when people treat you differently when they find out how old you are.

I think my all time favourite song would be between 'Slow Dancing in a Burning Room' and 'Dreaming with a Broken Heart' by John Mayer.

Did people care about how a singer sounded live back in the day? I don't really feel like they did. Not everything was being filmed. Today, one huge mess-up, and millions are seeing it. There's a lot more on the line nowadays. We're so cautious and scared of messing up. It adds a lot of stress to a career.

To be honest, I've only been to one concert, and it was Aerosmith. Aerosmith and Slash.

I'm 100 per cent involved in everything that happens with my name, and I think if you're not, then there's something wrong.

First of all, I'm not gay. Second of all, it shouldn't make a difference if I was or if I wasn't.

I think the world is becoming a place where younger and younger people can do great things, and I just hope I can inspire other young people to do the same.

A lot of people who are 'social media' stars aren't considered to be 'real' stars, and people underestimate the amount of work it takes to edit and upload a video every single day and document your life like that.

I don't want to get on stage and just be another act.

I'm not the best singer in the world; I'm just good at picking up what I want to sound like.

I used to write stories. Handwriting stories in school were a big deal for me. That's kind of what I did.

I would type in things like, 'How to play beginner songs on guitar,' and one of the first I learnt was 'Hey, Soul Sister' by Train. I taught myself these chords I didn't know the name of and slowly started to get the hang. I was obsessed with it.

I'm writing all the time, really. It's become a little bit of a problem when I go home. Sometimes I should really go out and hang out with my friends, but what happens is I get really inspired and then just go and mess around on the computer.

With love, there are so many layers to it that you can write all day about it. It's not just heartbreak or falling in love; there's so many different ways to look at it.
