- On growing up with a single mother: "We used to run out of gas on the highway. I still can't wrap my head around what she did for me."
- On being constantly asked about Justin Bieber: "It's really hard because I'm a nice person. I'm just tired of talking about it. I never intended for my life to become a tabloid story."
- On being friends with Taylor Swift: "People have this fantasy that we're in our underwear, having pillow fights. We just play good music — sometimes live — and eat and hang out."
- On dating Zayn Malik: "If he had asked me out on a date, I would be seen with him. Just kidding, but not kidding."
- On dating: "I hate it. It's hard and I'm weirded out by the idea that a guy has googled me before we meet, and that has happened. I feel like I look 16 sometimes, which is a bummer because I would love to date older guys."
- On posing naked for her Revival album cover after being body-shamed online: "It hurt my feelings because I never experienced that before, but I didn't want [that] to be the story, so I said, 'I don't care what you think!' I'm learning that you can be comfortable and still look beautiful. Some days, I like what I see. Other days I'm like, 'I'm not even going to bother.'"
