"I've always wanted to be a singer."
"When I was little, I had concerts on the subway, and old ladies came up to me like, 'You are so good!'"
"I wear jewellery that I never take off. I have a ring and two necklaces. I always have them on and get scared when I have to take them off for photo shoots. The ring is my mum's mum's mum's, and she gave it to me for my 18th birthday. The necklace is the same one that my sister has. She's called Hannah, and the name is the chain."
"If I have a day off, I'll get up at three in the afternoon and make some noodles. I fix my makeup and then party until 5 A.M."
"I like to spend as much time with my friends and family as possible."
"The only person I'd cry if I met would be Beyonce."
"We're here for a little, little bit of time, and I just wanna make the most out of it."
"I've always just wanted people to look at me."
"I think my thing is that... I don't know. And that's why I don't wanna sing about 'This is me, this is who I am' because, like, even the question, 'Tell me about yourself' - what are you supposed to say? 'Ooh, I'm a happy girl, but I'm sad, too'? People are so complex."
"I have some friends, and they're super-hipster. And they're like, 'All I wanna do is sing in a jazz bar and to just make it to pay for the rent.' And I'm like, 'Cool... That's not what I wanna do. I want as many people as possible to go to my concert.'"
"A lot of my friends send me Snapchats of when they're in the club, and they're like, 'It's your song!'"
"In the car on my way to the studio, I was listening to 'Where Are U Now' with Justin Bieber and Jack U, so I was like, 'Wow, this is such a banger.' I loved the thought of having a ballad at the beginning and then just a massive drop."
"Literally, when I go to the vocal coach, I'm like, 'You are teaching me nothing.' You know?"
"People say, 'Oh you're so good, and you're so young!' It's like, 'No. I'm good. Period!'"
"I would say that the majority of the people I work with are Swedish, very unknown producers and writers but so talented."
"I'm still so young, so I feel like people have wanted to keep me in a 'no-makeup' fresh type of look - sometimes artists are a little afraid of really putting the makeup on me."
"I'd like to sell out worldwide stadium tours. That'd be something. Or to have sixty number ones on Billboard."
"It really is a dream coming true, being on Billboard."
"That's absolutely one of my main goals, to have a number one on Billboard. That's a big thing for me. That means people are buying and listening to your music."
"The Monsters & Strangerz, I love them so much."
"Some people can't sing - like honestly - but they're famous anyway, and they might be famous for being an artist, which is completely different from being a singer."
"It could be interesting doing something with Kanye."
"I'm not even close to where I want to be; it's just a little mini step on the way. This is only the beginning."
"Mostly, I just write about feelings that people can relate to. Because, yeah, I don't know who I am, and this is not my sound forever... I'm a human, so hopefully, I will always develop."
"I'm just waiting for the day when my songs aren't flying. Because I kind of believe in Murphy's law - if something can go wrong, it eventually will."
