Body image is something that girls struggle with every day, and it's something that I struggle with every day.

Every time I sing, it it's a reminder to myself that I have to be confident.

I was a troublemaking kid.

'Looking For Alaska' by John Green is a very great book. I feel like every teenage girl says John Green's 'Fault In Our Stars,' but 'Looking For Alaska' is better.

From Alessia Cara

In second grade, I told a bunch of kids there was a homeless person living between the portable classrooms outside our school. It caused panic, and the principal had to announce on the P.A. system that no one was living there. I pretended I didn't know who started the rumor.

From Alessia Cara

I was a very strange child.

From Alessia Cara

I think that my music is really empowering. I just want people to know - especially young people, but really everyone - that you don't have to be so caught up in what everyone else is thinking. You don't have to be the coolest, most popular person. You can just be you and be vulnerable.

From Alessia Cara

I guess people don't think that young girls or young artists have opinions, but I'm so glad that there's artists like Lorde and Raury and Kehlani because they're showing other people that young people can have an opinion and a voice and do really well with it. I'm glad I can be one of those people.

From Alessia Cara

Singing was something I always did. I really don't remember a time when I wasn't singing, even as a little child.

From Alessia Cara

As long as each song makes somebody feel something, I think that's the point of it all. I don't want it to just be background music, you know?
