On being harsh about her looks early in her career, and gaining body confidence:
ā€œWhen I saw photos of myself, I would think, I look awful. Thereā€™s a double chin! I never thought Iā€™d be a pop star. I donā€™t look like Rihanna. [Then] after the video for All About That Bass came outā€¦when I was signing autographs, this girl came up to me bawling and said, ā€˜You make me feel pretty again. Thank you.ā€™ It really resonated with me that this girl was so gorgeous, and she didnā€™t even know it. Itā€™s a mental thing. Just recently I was thinking, ‘Iā€™m confident now, and I look good,’ and thatā€™s because Iā€™ve started saying those words out loud more. So now when I see pictures, Iā€™m like, ā€˜Oh my God, why would I hate myself at all? I look incredible in that picture!ā€™ā€

On waiting for the right guy:
ā€œI knew my life would be complicated if my dreams of becoming a success in music came true. And I knew Iā€™d have to work hard to achieve those dreams, and that theyā€™d have to take a front seat in my life. So even though I went cray in high school, now I havenā€™t kissed a boy in forever. I keep telling myself that the right guy is going to be worth the wait. When I find the one, itā€™s going to be like, ā€˜Damn, thatā€™s why you took so long! ā€™Cause youā€™re awesome!ā€™ā€
