Since I was 13 years old, I've been writing songs about how I feel and mental health. So many of my songs are genuinely just my diary entries.

More quotes by Tate McRae

The most rewarding part is the feeling I get when I am performing on stage. Yes, before I go on stage I get nervous, but when I'm on stage it's the most magical, surreal feeling.

I don't really know what the switch is. Any time I'm in a studio, step on stage, or get onto a music video set, there's a five-second reset where I black out and turn into this confident, fearless person.

My only way to actually know what I’m feeling is if I take an instrument and just start splatting out words. It’s so random. It’s very much like my subconscious speaks; otherwise I have no idea what I’m really thinking and I’m like, ‘what is going on in my brain right now.’

I've just always been that child that spent a lot of time around adults when I was younger...I feel like I am super observant of everything everything around me, and I think that makes me a little wise beyond my years. People say I'm like a 40-year-old in a 17-year-old's body.
