I don't really get nervous that much, or if I do, only I know. It's all inside me. I am good at hiding everything.
I really like hip-hop and rap; that's my main influence. I really wanna be more of a hip-hop artist.
We uploaded 'Ocean Eyes' to SoundCloud, and it started getting a lot of plays pretty much immediately.
Words are more powerful than some noises. Noises won't last long. Lyrics are so important, and people don't realise that.
If I'm inspired to make a certain kind of song, I'm going to make that kind of song, no matter if it's what they know me as or think I am.
What inspires me about rap is that it's written in an almost poetic way. I just think it's so cool.
I play piano and ukulele, and I taught myself those things just because I wanted to play them.
I love people talking about me; I love anybody just looking at me.
In real life, I'm a really smiley person. I smile when I talk and I laugh.
Lyrics are so important, but they're really underrated.
I love movement. I love moshing.
I never thought a career as a musician was possible.
It's really fun to put yourself into a character - into shoes you wouldn't normally be in.
If I make music and people hate it, you know, whatever. I'll die someday, and one day, they will too.
Pirate was going to be my middle name, but then my uncle had a problem with it because pirates are bad.
It's rare for anyone to value the opinions of a teenage girl.
Me and my brother get along super well. We're, like, best friends. So we'll stay up until, like, five just talking because we get along and, you know, it's cool. And he respects my opinions, and I respect his, even if we don't have the same opinions, but a lot of the time we do.
Nothing really scares me, to be honest.
People think you have to go through something to write about it, and you absolutely do not. You can write about, like, a shoe. It's a story.
I'm pretty sure I don't have any songs that are about how much I love someone. They're all either about, like, 'I hate you,' or 'You make me hate me.'
