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

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.

I see things that nobody else sees

I was always hard on myself for taking things too personally.

I go with what I like and I generally just cling to things that are pastel and remind me of being a little kid. It's just what it is right now, but I go through phases.

The journey of life is tough

The only way I can keep clear of force is by justice. Far from being willing to execute his enemies, a real king must be willing to execute his friends.

When you are in your teenage years you are consciously experiencing everything for the first time, so adolescent stories are all beginnings. There are never any endings.

When you are on assignment, film is the least expensive thing in a very practical sense. Your time, the person's time, turns out to be the most valuable thing.

The mind is always present. You just don't see it.

My government is in no sense anti-Russian.

All I want is to know things. The black gulph of the infinite is before me.

Painting is marvelous; it makes you happier and more patient. Afterwards you do not have black fingers as with writing, but blue and red ones.

I end up not buying a lot of things, because I find them ridiculous.

A certain strangeness, something of the blossoming of the aloe, is indeed an element in all true works of art: that they shall excite or surprise us is indispensable.
