I think I started doing covers when I was... what, like 9 or 10? I would always do the songs that I wanted to do and the songs that my parents wanted me to do. You would see me cover every Adele, Christina Aguilera, Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood. Then I\'d have to do \'Sweet Child O\' Mine\' and \'Crazy Train,\' and it was a really weird combination.
I\'m definitely a hair down girl. I\'m a fan of the natural, earthy look.
As long as I was well fed, I was a very, very nice child. I just used my imagination and played with Barbies. I was pretty easy.
I\'m trying everything. But voice work is the best thing you ever imagined. It\'s not about how you look, and you can go to work in your PJs.
I approach everyday personal beauty very naturally; I try to make it look like I\'m not wearing makeup.
Truly, with a sitcom and the rhythms of comedy... music is so helpful in that area of life.
I sing a lot, so if I have lipstick, it gets all over the microphone, so I rarely wear lipstick.
I listen to music to when I\'m feeling a certain way or to make myself feel a certain way. So why not make my own music inspired by true emotions?
Singing is about telling a story. When you are onstage, you get to be your own self... When acting, you\'re someone else.
I can\'t speak for boys because I\'m not one! But I just imagine they think differently.
I think the song itself, \'Smoke and Fire,\' is just a metaphor for the feelings that you feel in a relationship.
For musicians, Musikfest is the most cool event.
Everybody takes at least 20, so even if you see a good selfie, it probably wasn\'t the first one. So my tip is to just not take it too seriously and have fun.
I think it\'s such a powerful thing: Words and melodies, and you put them together. I couldn\'t really picture a world without music. It would be quite boring.
A bad hair day for me is when it gets flat and greasy.
That\'s just a symbol of how you should deal with a breakup. You can cry for a little bit, eat some ice cream, but I think, after that, it\'s like, get up, listen to some powerful music and do something that makes you happy, be productive.
Everybody has their own story - it\'s who you are. If I wasn\'t five-foot, I wouldn\'t be who I am!
Being body positive is really important to your overall happiness. It\'s hard to see someone with a \'perfect\' body and be like, \'Why can\'t I be like her?\' But that person was born to be who she is, and you\'re born to be who you are.
I live every day, day to day. I will go wherever life takes me. I\'m not questioning it.
If you don\'t have anything nice to say, don\'t say it at all. And if you do have to say it, make it really funny so I can screenshot it and save it for later.
When I was growing up, we went to Musikfest every year, and I have vivid memories of the corn on the cob. I\'m going for the concert, but I\'m really going for the corn.
My favorite makeup look was for my \'Eyes Wide Open\' video done by Torsten Witte. It was so dramatic and definitely captured the magic of the video.
When I\'m recording my album, I want to be acting, or when I\'m on set, I want to be making music. I guess we\'ll see how it turns out and which one overpowers the other... but I couldn\'t really see my life without them, both of them.
Whenever I\'m out and I hear something, I\'m writing. It\'s the process of writing it down and then just always creating wherever you go. I never stop creating.
My favorite thing before going to school was watching \'Full House,\' \'Sabrina the Teenage Witch,\' and \'Boy Meets World.\'
The first songs I learned was \'Crazy\' by Patsy Cline and \'At Last\' by Etta James. I had been growing up with the Beatles, Pink Floyd, great bands.
I\'m not quite sure how I would do babysitting.
I have always looked up to Adele and Christina Aguilera as singers ever since I was very young, and now my favorite male singer is Hozier.
I didn\'t feel self conscious \'cause my sisters and I all had thick brows, and by the time I got to the age that I could be self conscious about them, they were in style!
There\'s so many things that I\'ve gone through that I want to share because there\'s other teenagers that are going through the same things or will go through the same things.
