I go through a lot of depression, and I know other people do, too, but I have an outlet that so many people don't. If you have that inside of you and can't get it out, what do you do?

I've been in the Los Angeles Children's Chorus since I was 8.

Me and my brother get along super well. We're, like, best friends. So we'll stay up until, like, five just talking because we get along and, you know, it's cool. And he respects my opinions, and I respect his, even if we don't have the same opinions, but a lot of the time we do.

I'm a really artistic person, and so, with the live stuff, there's a lot that I think is really cool. Beyonce and Rihanna have all these dancers. So with the live costumes and video costumes, I'd really like to have my vision. The way that I want people to dress is very specific. I love fashion.

I'm gonna make what I want to make, and other people are gonna like what they're gonna like. It doesn't really matter.

I'm super self-critical, which I think is good, because then I get exactly what I want. I'm critical of other people, too -- I try not to be, though.

Words are more powerful than some noises. Noises won't last long. Lyrics are so important, and people don't realise that.

Smiling makes me feel weak and not in control and not powerful and small.

I feel like I might be a designer or stylist -- or a director because I have always been super interested in cameras and editing.

I don't know how to function without music. When I'm not making it, I'm listening to it. It gives me courage and takes care of my mind.

I've always done whatever I want and always been exactly who I am.

I really wanted to be a model when I was little. I loved photography, and I loved being on camera. But I was short and chubby, so I couldn't. Anyway, being an artist is way more interesting than just being a model because it's about you and what you want to be. You're not being treated like a clothes hanger.

I don't want people at my shows to come out and say, 'I just saw a cool show.' I want them to say, 'I had fun at the show.' I want it to be a collaborative thing and be part of the audience and have them be part of me. I try to interact with everyone there and have them be equal to me because they are.

I really love Linkin Park, and I loved Chester Bennington, and it is horrible what happened to him. I grew up listening to him because my dad would make these mixtapes with a lot of different artists -- Linkin Park, Avril Lavigne, The Beatles, Sarah McLachlan, I just really loved Linkin Park, and their production is really sick.

I had a period in my life where I decided that I would never be bored again and that, if I had any free time at all, I would make plans, and I would always be doing things. It actually was great for a year or so, but then I lost all of my friends.

Clothing and fashion are kind of my security blanket, almost.

I don't really get nervous that much, or if I do, only I know. It's all inside me. I am good at hiding everything.

I wrote my first song at 12 and remember someone asking, 'What were you going through at 12 that you could write about?' I get what you're saying, but 11, 12, 13 were the hardest years of my life. You learn everything. You learn how horrible things feel.

I just really want to get music out and tour and go places I've never been, and just do more videos. I love photography and videography, and so I really want to direct videos when I can.

If I'm in a bad mood, or if I'm uncomfortable, it's probably what I'm wearing that's making me feel that way.
