Smith: "I express my thoughts through my music."

Smith: "It's very special that I can go through things - and write them down and record them - and so many people can relate. Not everybody can get out who they are and really feel better after they write."

Smith: "Wear what you feel comfortable in and what suits your mood."

Smith: "I make music because it helps me. I feel better after I've written a song. I listen to my own songs, and they make me feel and think about stuff I'd done or someone said to me, and I feel a bit better."

Smith: "I love anything about love."

Smith: "I've always loved music since I was 11. I used to play keyboard, and I would write music. So since 11, I've been falling in love with music."

Smith: "I want to be worldwide, international, in everyone's ears, and everyone listening to what I'm saying, because I think I say some good stuff."

Smith: "When I'm writing, I'll just say random stuff that doesn't make sense, and then a certain word that I keep saying will stick out, and I'll write from there."

Smith: "Maybe I am a bit of a siren."

Smith: "I left Starbucks in 2015. When I was younger, I remember looking at Justin Bieber and wishing I had all these fans, but you know what? Everyone has their path, everyone's path is different, and this is where mine's going. I just didn't want to work at Starbucks. I wanted to be writing music all the time."

Smith: "Good music is timeless, and if you create with that honesty, it will last."

Smith: "Because I'm on a tour bus, it's so hard to wash your face - we have to use, um, water bottles. But you know what? It's not about looking cute - it's about staying hydrated."

Smith: "Sometimes I feel people try to be too complex. Some of the greatest songs are so simple. The simplest phrases."

Smith: "My dad will always criticize me. He doesn't care if it hurts my feelings. If I start acting a certain way, he would be like, 'Who do you think you are?' So many people can tell me, 'You're amazing,' but I don't think it. I'm really hard on myself."

Smith: "I don't like setting goals - I don't like to be disappointed."

Smith: "So many people can tell me, 'You're amazing,' rather, but I don't think it. You know, so, I don't go around thinking this. I'm really hard on myself. I think that's quite good."

Smith: "Independence is doing what you want to do, knowing that you're happy with the decisions you're making and that it's the best for you."

Smith: "When we used to walk to school, I used to read off the walls, graffiti and stuff, everything. I used to write stories, but I'd never finish them. I wrote poems."

Smith: "Chill? I can't chill. I find it so difficult to sit still."

Smith: "I didn't look like Rihanna. I was a bit chubby. I had puppy fat. I had a moustache. I didn't want to have lips; I didn't want a bum. I grew out of it, but I feel like everyone went through that phase of wanting to be skinny."

Smith: "I like a new challenge."
