With different scenarios and different places, I think it's easier for me to get inspired I'm seeing different things.

The fact that people are embracing me so well as a new artist and being taken so seriously is something I'm really surprised by.

Stay true to who you are, even though that sounds cliché. It's something that's important - doing what feels right for you.

It's really great that people are seeing me as a credible person. That alone is great. And the fact that people make fan accounts for me and recognize me now sometimes is really strange and cool.

YouTube was a way for people to hear me and for me to say, Hey, I can sing this song, I'm not in front of you yet because I'm too shy, but here's how I sound for now.

No matter what I put out, no matter what genre - because I feel like I'm going to experiment with everything - I hope people will see that it's true to me, that it's honest, and nobody ever thinks that I'm inauthentic.

I feel New York is too crazy for me, especially when you go to Times Square.

It's hard to be taken seriously if you're a young, female artist making pop music you never know how people are going to react.

I feel people are seeing me as a true artist rather than a singer, or an entertainer, or a girl who just makes songs.

I want everything, no matter what concept or genre, to feel real, because it is real. I want to keep making real music, I hope people remember me for that, that's a good thing to be remembered for.

I think patience is the best thing to try to embrace.

I've now learned how to do it, I can write anywhere. I'm the type of person that will get a random idea and then I'll have to write it down and then continue on it. It can be anywhere. It doesn't have to be a set place.

If I'm experiencing a different thing every day and seeing a new environment every day, it can create a different mood or different feeling.

People don't care what men wear or how they look. Unfortunately for women, the music industry is very visual and objectifying. The objectification of our bodies and using our bodies to sell things needs to change. A lot of this marketing stuff comes from men, so we definitely need more women behind the scenes.

The fact that I'm getting appreciated and praised alone is a crazy moment because I never thought it would happen.
