Musician

I don't let anyone's insecurities, emotions, or opinions bother me. I know that if I am happy, that's all that matters to me.

My stepdad provided me with an amazing childhood. I played outside like a normal kid, I rode my bike, I walked to school, but the happiest times were when I was acting.

I learned that you go through things, you deal with them and that's what empowers you and ultimately makes you a happy person.

Everyone has the bully or the mean girl or the ex-boyfriend who tried to bring them down.

I still had a normal childhood with my friends from school.

Rocker dudes don't have a lot of swagger.

I try to keep it real. I don't have time to worry about what I'm projecting to the world. I'm just busy being myself.

After so long being thin, it was terrifying being heavier. But I am a naturally curvy Hispanic girl. I don't deprive myself.

Recovery is something that you have to work on every single day and it's something that it doesn't get a day off.

I think scars are like battle wounds - beautiful, in a way. They show what you've been through and how strong you are for coming out of it.

I believe in aliens. I think it would be way too selfish of us as mankind to believe we are the only lifeforms in the universe.

Music is what I love to do; it's in my veins.

If I'm able to use my voice to do good in the world then I definitely want to do that.

After hundreds of auditions and nothing, you're sitting home and wondering, 'What am I doing?'

I know that I have a voice and can use it for good or bad. It's a gift from God.

If it takes me 10 years to be the musician I want to be, great.

I was compulsively overeating when I was eight years old.

It's a big responsibility dating me. Because I come with a little bit of baggage, you know?

I never thought that I'd be a role model. Everyone kind of just made me a role model, and I hated that.

I get mad. I get sad. I have all those emotions. But I just like to keep them to myself. I don't think my fans need to be bothered with if I'm mad or sad about something. I should just be concerned that they are keeping up with my music or I'm making them happy with my show.
