I tend to obsess over my passions.

Life experience brings out different emotions and different perspectives on things. I just want to be constantly evolving.

I didn't date for my entire teen life - it just wasn't on my mind.

I'm very naturally happy, quirky and positive.

Oh man, the Vengaboys are my guilty pleasure.

I probably wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the gay community supporting me. I wouldn't be the artist I was today if it wasn't for that because that was the only community that let me try, let me perform without knowing who I was.

I was a very unpredictable child. I'd pack a bag and go off and do a hike in the mountains for 10 days.

Beauty has so many forms, and I think the most beautiful thing is confidence and loving yourself.

I wear crop tops and stuff, but I genuinely like that style, so it's just has to be genuine. Once you start getting to that world where you're using sexuality to try to propel something, you're losing the moment. You've lost; people are not focusing on that anymore.

From the age of three to 15, I wanted to be a ballerina and trained really, really hard. Then I had that classic movie story moment, where I had an injury and had to give up my dream.

The moment I wrote my first song, I got addicted.

I was in a rock band; I was my own folk singer; I was in a death metal band for a very short time; I was in a cover band, a jazz band, a blues band. I was in a gospel choir.
