Personal Quotes
Be yourself always, there's no one better!
I was never the girl who thought I need to make sure I look like all the other girls. I think bạn look best when bạn stand out.
[on Having Her Own Band] I'm going to be in a band - no Selena Gomez stuff. I'm not going to be a solo artist. I think that I don't want my name attached to it. I basically want to make âm nhạc that is fun and that parents and kids can jump around to and have a good time to.

I feel like people shouldn't judge as much, they should give their sympathy.

I'm going to be Katy Perry for Halloween. I'm going to have the blue hair and the ice cream outfit she did. It's going to be awesome.
