I think I started doing covers when I was... what, like 9 or 10? I would always do the songs that I wanted to do and the songs that my parents wanted me to do. You would see me cover every Adele, Christina Aguilera, Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood. Then I'd have to do 'Sweet Child O' Mine' and 'Crazy Train,' and it was a really weird combination.

Being body positive is really important to your overall happiness. It's hard to see someone with a 'perfect' body and be like, 'Why can't I be like her?' But that person was born to be who she is, and you're born to be who you are.
I might not know who I was yesterday or who I'm going to be tomorrow, but I know who I am right now.
I didn't realize I was in an awkward phase when I was in an awkward phase. It was when I was between the ages of 9 and 11. I was homeschooled. Everything I wore was pink and sparkly. And I had an obsession with headbands. I felt like I rocked them, though!
When I'm recording my album, I want to be acting, or when I'm on set, I want to be making music. I guess we'll see how it turns out and which one overpowers the other... but I couldn't really see my life without them, both of them.
Whenever I'm out and I hear something, I'm writing. It's the process of writing it down and then just always creating wherever you go. I never stop creating.

There's so many things that I've gone through that I want to share because there's other teenagers that are going through the same things or will go through the same things.
My favorite makeup look was for my 'Eyes Wide Open' video done by Torsten Witte. It was so dramatic and definitely captured the magic of the video.
Everybody takes at least 20, so even if you see a good selfie, it probably wasn't the first one. So my tip is to just not take it too seriously and have fun.
If you're going to sing on stage, wear lip stain.
My size is a huge part of me. You just have to appreciate those kinds of things. So I wasn't born with long legs - who cares. You just have to embrace it. Being body positive is really important to your overall happiness.
Everybody loves a good Christmas song if you do it right.
That's just a symbol of how you should deal with a breakup. You can cry for a little bit, eat some ice cream, but I think, after that, it's like, get up, listen to some powerful music and do something that makes you happy, be productive.
It always feels good to put something you're proud of out in the world.
I'm not quite sure how I would do babysitting.
For musicians, Musikfest is the most cool event.
I think it's such a powerful thing: Words and melodies, and you put them together. I couldn't really picture a world without music. It would be quite boring.
If I wasn't five-foot, I wouldn't be who I am! My size is a huge part of me.
I've never paid too much attention to what other people have said or to what other people have tried to make me be. I've always just tried to be myself, which is such a weird thing to say.
I'm definitely a hair down girl. I'm a fan of the natural, earthy look.
As long as I was well fed, I was a very, very nice child. I just used my imagination and played with Barbies. I was pretty easy.
I'm trying everything. But voice work is the best thing you ever imagined. It's not about how you look, and you can go to work in your PJs.
I sing a lot, so if I have lipstick, it gets all over the microphone, so I rarely wear lipstick.
What you wear onstage is a reflection of your artistry.
I didn't feel self conscious 'cause my sisters and I all had thick brows, and by the time I got to the age that I could be self conscious about them, they were in style!
Everyone takes a bad selfie - the first thing is to know that.
I go through my comments sometimes, and I'll just take snapshots of the terrible ones and send them to my friends. I know it's horrible, but they actually make me laugh. They make my day.
Everybody has their own story - it's who you are. If I wasn't five-foot, I wouldn't be who I am!
I'm very lucky; I have a lot of knowledge. My favorite band is The Beatles, so a lot of inspiration for my music comes from them, too.
Time will heal everything.
Truly, with a sitcom and the rhythms of comedy... music is so helpful in that area of life.
I've never had to fend for a child's life, which sounds very terrifying.
Every free day, every weekend, I am in a recording session. I'm very lucky to have such supportive people around me.
If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. And if you do have to say it, make it really funny so I can screenshot it and save it for later.

Confidence is the most beautiful thing you can possess.
I have so many goals and aspirations that sometimes I lose myself.
I was really scared to stay home alone when I was kid, and I would freak out whenever there was a noise after my parents left.
I live every day, day to day. I will go wherever life takes me. I'm not questioning it.
I listen to music to when I'm feeling a certain way or to make myself feel a certain way. So why not make my own music inspired by true emotions?
I approach everyday personal beauty very naturally; I try to make it look like I'm not wearing makeup.
A bad hair day for me is when it gets flat and greasy.
I like to emphasize my eyes because if I do it well enough, then they look very blue.
It's hard to see someone with a 'perfect' body and be like, 'Why can't I be like her?' But that person was born to be who she is, and you're born to be who you are.
Every Christmas Eve, the elves will come and give us a new pair of pajamas.
I think the song itself, 'Smoke and Fire,' is just a metaphor for the feelings that you feel in a relationship.
There are a lot of things that people go through, and maybe they don't know how to get through it, and maybe you do, and if you have some sort of knowledge or power, share with the world.
I loved all of the 'Zenon' movies. Those were my jam mostly because of the fashion. I loved something about the space buns and the weird neon colors. I couldn't just wear that in real life because people would look weirdly at me, but maybe at a party or something.
I can't speak for boys because I'm not one! But I just imagine they think differently.
