Hayley Kiyoko

I loved the idea of how all these guys always are stealing other guys' girls and I was like, 'There's no female anthem for a girl stealing another guy's girl,' and that is the coolest thing ever.

For me, I think 'Jem' fans were expecting a remake of the cartoon, and the movie really is inspired by the cartoon based in a 2015, modern-day setting. It is going to be very different, but it's also going to be very familiar as well.

My goal has always been to just be a person who makes great art.

When I approach my music and my music videos, obviously all of the subjects and stories that I tell come from an honest, truthful place and the experiences that I've had.

It's wonderful to see parents come together and openly support their LGBTQ kids at my shows.

Everyone uses art for different reasons: We use it as entertainment. We use it as an escape. We use it as comfort. Everyone uses it for different reasons.

Being young is so hard. You're surrounded by judgment and fear.

My journey has really been trying to normalize girls loving girls.

In the dating game, the world is difficult because people don't communicate, or they communicate, but then their actions speak louder than words.

The music industry is such a different world from the acting world. Everything is really last minute, but I love the challenge, and I love owning my material and being able to put out what I want.

My motto is to help people love themselves sooner. I can't teach them how to do that. They have to figure that out on their own - that's their journey.

I just love storytelling. I write music to tell stories. So when I'm done writing a song, I take it and go, 'Okay. How can I interpret these lyrics differently?' I love taking lyrics that were so close to me at a certain point in my life and then revamping them. I always want to take things to the next level.
