I've always done whatever I want and always been exactly who I am.

There are still people who are afraid of successful women, and that's so lame.

I hate smiling. It makes me feel weak and powerless and small. I've always been like that; I don't smile in any pictures.

In real life, I'm a really smiley person. I smile when I talk and I laugh.

If I'm in a bad mood, or if I'm uncomfortable, it's probably what I'm wearing that's making me feel that way.

It's rare for anyone to value the opinions of a teenage girl.

Words are more powerful than some noises. Noises won't last long. Lyrics are so important, and people don't realize that.

I work with my brother Finneas, and he produces all of my music in his little bedroom in our house. We actually tried renting out a studio for a month when we were producing 'Don't Smile at Me,' but it was really hard there, and we ended up just doing it at home anyway.

It's really fun to put yourself into a character - into shoes you wouldn't normally be in.

Clothing & fashion are kind of my security blanket, almost.

I don't even call them fans. I don't like that. They're literally just a part of my life; they're a part of my family. I don't think of them as on a lower level than me. I don't think I'm anything but equal to all of them. So yeah, they're basically all of my siblings.

I always wear the kind of stuff that makes you overheat and die.

If I make music and people hate it, you know, whatever. I'll die someday, and one day, they will too.

Bellyache' is totally fictional. I like writing about things that aren't real. The song is about not trusting anyone and then putting trust in yourself and realizing that you don't know what you are doing, either. Or realizing that things you do with a group of people that you think are cool in the moment are ultimately all on you.

I felt like, for so many years - and I still even feel it - as a girl, you can't really expect to go on stage and dress like a boy and jump around and scream with the audience and mosh and stuff, and every time that happens, I feel really proud.

Sexism is everywhere, bro. I don't know if it's ever not somewhere.

Time is kind of an amazing thing because you can do so much with it. I think people underestimate time... I don't want to just sit on my phone for hours.

What makes a song last is real content from a mind that is thinking a little bit harder about certain things. A lot of artists don't really think that hard.

I used to write random little stupid things when I was five, but then the first song I really wrote was one called 'Fingers Crossed,' which is on SoundCloud.

I think everybody deserves an equal amount of appreciation whether how old they are, but I mean, I'm cool with the praise. I'm good.
