It's cool when people notice that you make an effort to live certain values.

My whole family has been such a great support, and they're the ones who have kept me grounded and allowed me to be who I am today.

You have to think about how you’re going to present yourself and want people, wanna show your stuff and who you are.

The worst part of fame is not always knowing what I’m doing the next day.

Once you let yourself believe that you’ve gotten to the top, you’ve lost sight of the real goal. Which is to keep climbing no matter what. And by climbing, I don’t mean trying to out do yourself with even more accomplishments. Instead, what I mean is that just when we think we have done something well, we should start looking at the other areas of our lives that need attention.

I want to make decisions as to where I want to go as an artist, and to get to it in my own way.

I love Sara Bareilles. She’s just so clever. I wish I were her. She’s so awesome.

When they’re people who are your fans, you know, ’cause they really feel what you’re singing, that’s my favorite.

I wouldn’t change anything. Even the minor things or problems are what influence who I am.

If you close your eyes to see the view, you miss everything surrounding you.
