Beer: "There was a time in my career when I felt like I wasn’t being true to myself. I was being moulded into an artist I wasn’t, and I knew I had to do everything I wanted to do."

Beer: “It’s important to drive your own ship, and it’s your career, so you might as well take it by the reins.”

Beer: “It’s your career, your face, your name. You have to be in control because if something gets messed up or something doesn’t look how you want it to, you’re the only one to blame.”

Beer: "If you judge me then don't follow me. Like I don't really care."

Beer: "I've really taken time to dive into my heart and my emotions a little more. I think, before, I was a little nervous to open up that box and go, 'What's in there,' you know? Now, that's what's made the best music, and that's what I've been able to pull out of parts of myself that I never knew existed."

Beer: “Do what you want to do, and don’t feel pressure to do what other people want.”

Beer: "I used to just let people tell me what to do. I didn't really have a mind of my own, and I couldn't really say yes or no to things because I didn't really know what I wanted, but now I feel really confident in the fact that I can really be distinctive on what I want and how I want to do things."

Beer: "I'm very much focused on my career."

Beer: "I wanted to convey the message of how I do what I want and how I run my own business, and I’m a woman in charge. I want all of my fans to know that that’s possible and feel empowered when they listen to my music.”

Beer: “Something most people don’t know about me is that I’m quite the loner, I would say. I don’t really ever leave my house.”

Beer: “I only have a stylist when I go to big events, but even then, I give them mood boards to show exactly how I want to look, so I’m mostly in control. I dress myself on a daily basis, though.”

Beer: "I've been this age since I was 13 years old, like I've been an adult for so long."

Beer: “You know, sometimes someone will meet me and be like, ‘Wow, you’re much smarter than I thought,’ but even though people can sometimes meet me and be pleasantly surprised, it does make me sad as well. For a long time I’ve been trying to prove my intelligence and artistry and the fact that I’m someone who should be taken seriously. That does get a bit exhausting because I shouldn’t have to be constantly proving that to people.”

Beer: "I would definitely say I'm predominantly a pop artist, obviously, but my music is different. It's not just top-40-radio-type music."

Beer: "Music has always just been something that I feel really connected to and it's been my way to escape. It’s kind of like my own little world that I’ve created. So, I don't really know where it stems from. It's just something that I think I was born loving and I feel like it’s kind of in my blood at this point."

Beer: “To my younger self, I would say not to be so hard on yourself. I think that you are your biggest critic.”

Beer: "There were a lot of women in music that I for sure looked up to. But finding my own path creatively - I feel like it's been my biggest inspiration."

Beer: "I like to think, hopefully, people agree that I'm fashionable."

Beer: "Every time I feel like I’m gaining a bit of weight, I’ll eat healthily for, like, 3 days. Then I’ll be like, ‘Oh, I look skinny again.’ Then I’ll go back to eating bad, but I tell myself it’s OK, I’m only 19, so I can do it while I can."

Beer: "I don't have that many, like, friends that I trust and can tell things to."

Beer: “I think I’ll forever be accused of not being ‘real’ and ‘doing things for attention’, but hopefully over time those people will start to realise that’s not ever been who I am.”

Beer: “At the end of the day, if you feel like you’re a good person, and your intentions are good, then that’s all that matters.”

Beer: “It breaks my heart that some of my fans think that because they love me and they idolize me, they have to be just like me and dress like me and act like me.”

Beer: "I honestly believe going independent is the future. Social is changing, Spotify is changing, everything is changing."

Beer: "Everything's like a stepping stone in regards to the singles I put out. You know, it was like Dead, Home With You, Hurts Like Hell, next one, next one, next one, album. So it's like, they're all just steps closer what it's really gonna be."

Beer: "One day, I could be wearing biker boots and a leather outfit, and the next day, I could be wearing a flower dress and sandals."

Beer: "I only have a stylist when I go to big events, but even then, I give them moodboards to show exactly how I want to look, so I'm mostly in control. I dress myself on a daily basis, though."

Beer: "I always make sure my lashes look cute."

Beer: "I was 13 years old. I feel like I didn't have a sense of artistry, and I didn't have a sense of the music that I wanted to make, and every time I'd go into the studio, and I'd make my EP, a month later I'd scrap it and be like, 'I hate every song. I don't wanna do it.' Because that's how 13-year-olds are."

Beer: "The worst thing any of us can do for our self-esteem is compare ourselves to others, and that's especially true of women."

Beer: "There will be slow songs, sad songs, happy songs, songs about boys, and songs about being who you are. I'm making sure I'm happy with all of the songs, because if I am not happy with them, I can't expect anyone else to be, you know?"

Beer: “The most beautiful people are those who are truly themselves, and that’s what I want to show my fans.”

Beer: "I think my fans inspire me a lot. They're a huge part of my career. I wouldn't be where I am without them, so I try to feed off what they're going through. I read their tweets and Instagrams."

Beer: "I want to be role model for people to be like, 'I don't need a major label to be a successful artist and to have a successful song.'"

Beer: "I really think social media is about to have a huge, like, explosion of 'no one cares anymore.' It's just been going on for so long, and I think people are getting so over the whole like 'fake perfect illusion' thing, because we also like let ourselves down."

Beer: "One thing I love about Lady Gaga is I feel like her sound is always evolving and changing with her and her phases of life."

Beer: "Just being told to actually never give up has been a really big player in my life. There have been a lot of times when I really wanted to and thought that it would be the smartest choice, so it has been a simple but very effective piece of advice."

Beer: "People would expect me to be this ditzy, bubblegum-pop girl. I was selling myself short."

Beer: "It’s been more recently when I’ve been on my own that’s been affirming for me. Accomplishing things by myself, instead of relying on other people, has been really great."

Beer: "I want to get a master's degree in... psychology."

Beer: "I’m at a point now where I’m almost 10 years into this game, and I have a voice that I think deserves to be heard. But for a very long time, I felt very silenced by older men in the industry who actually didn’t know what they were talking about and steered me in all the wrong directions."

Beer: "Most of my songs are written about movies or TV shows – they’re not about me."

Beer: "It's time to stop waiting around for people to change for me, or like, you know waiting for the world to just all of a sudden, like, give me stuff. It's time for me to really be like an adult."

Beer: "It's hard because I bury things so deep within me, and then like bringing them out again is like 'emotional turmoil' for me."

Beer: “There have been times where it’s trended and I’ve been like: ‘You guys are spewing s*it out of your mouth; you have no idea what you’re talking about and nothing you say has any validity to it.”

Beer: "When you're walking in heels in a long dress, you're bound to fall at some point."

Beer: "'Dear Society' really is my letter to society where I express the anguish I've been caused from such an image-based industry and culture we live in."

Beer: "I could count on one hand how many times I've worked out."

Beer: “I wanted to make an album that was just purely ‘Madison.’ Me and my writers were like: ‘What song can we make that no one else could?’ That was the idea the whole way through.”

Beer: “A lot of people are really focused on me. I always say, ‘Why focus on someone more than yourself?'”

Beer: "I was a little bit insecure when I first became popular in the industry, because I didn’t feel like I could compete vocally with any of these other artists who were 'real singers'. I was always really down on myself about that, so I started really heavily training and figuring out what I had to do to make my voice better. I’ve definitely, over the past few years, felt like I’ve achieved that."

Beer: “It’s fine if you doubt me. Underestimate me, because then I’ll just impress you, you know.”

Beer: “I think we live in a society that is fixated on how people look more than anything else. With me, the conversation tends to lean towards: ‘Oh, she’s pushing a false beauty standard if she’s had work done and not telling us about it.’ There are people out there who think I’ve had my whole face reconstructed, which is just so funny to me. But I think that’s such a counterproductive argument.”

Beer: “I hate nothing more than feeling rushed to write a song or feeling like I have to write a song.”

Beer: "Just because people follow you on social media, that doesn’t mean you should feel obligated to make a post saying: ‘Hey guys, I just got my boobs done.’ It’s no one’s business but your own."

Beer: "I'm not perfect. I'm not polished."

Beer: “[My collaborators] would send me a song, and I’d be like: ‘Can you add this and change this?’ So I was very heavily involved with a lot of the production notes. I do think I deserve the [production] credit, but I think it also says something about the people that I work with: that they don’t have egos that get in the way of stuff. Because there are a lot of producers in the industry who would be like: ‘F*ck no! I’m not giving you a producer credit.’”
