5. “I get inspiration from literally everything and anything. I take inspiration from people, relationships, stories, and I take inspiration from movies I see, books I read, and songs I hear.”
6. “Singing is about telling a story. When you are onstage, you get to be your own self. … When acting, you’re someone else.”
7. “I feel like the more I work on different songs and the more I work on my voice constantly. … I always feel better after I post a cover. Even if it’s doing the little 15-second covers, I’m working on my craft, and it’s really good for me, and I feel good after I do it.”
8. “Music is where I started. It’s kind of the base of everything.”

14. “I’ve never paid too much attention to what other people have said or to what other people have tried to make me be. I’ve always just tried to be myself, which is such a weird thing to say.”
15. “I think it’s such a powerful thing: Words and melodies, and you put them together. I couldn’t really picture a world without music. It would be quite boring.”
