When I first started writing the album, "Cry Baby" was a song that I really wanted to write because it represented all of these personal insecurities that I had for a long time.

A lot of people say if you can't love yourself, then you can't love others. It's always different, but I definitely have loved a lot in my life.

I definitely have worked trying to create music that inspires girls to feel confident and strong, and feel like they can do anything.

I've had so many insecurities, and am still getting over a lot.

There are a lot of people who go their whole lives without truly knowing what love is, or ever experiencing that.

I definitely fall in love quickly, and I'm very in love with being in love. But it is hard for me to write about love.

I'll always definitely strive to write songs that are going to help people feel confident in themselves.

I never had a lot of friends growing up so having this insane amount of love and support really means a lot to me.

Just because I'm an artist doesn't mean I should be treated differently.

Enjoying living was learning to get your money's worth and knowing when you had it.

Ambition thinks no face so beautiful as that which looks from under a crown.

Obviously the first thing we need to do is repeal “Obamacare.” That's one entitlement that we can get rid of. And that's a couple trillion dollars in spending over the next 10 years.

Corneille is to Shakespeare as a clipped hedge is to a forest.

It is becoming impossible for those who mix at all with their fellow-men to believe that the grace of God is distributed denominationally.
