I watched pretty much every coming out video on YouTube that has ever been posted; I watched it in between 14 and a half and 15. Those coming out videos, and those people on YouTube, those brave, brave, brave people on YouTube, without them, I don't know where I'd be.

I love retouching images on Photoshop.

The most radical thing that I can do is share how happy I am.

I spent so long and so much of my childhood holding myself back for fear of what people would think. I'm trying my best every day to throw that away.

Troye Sivan

I'm on the path to being someone I'm equally terrified by and obsessed with. My true self.

Right after something happens to me, the first thing I'll do is go write when those feelings are really, really fresh. I'll hum a tune into my phone sometimes.

I wanted to write a song about war and that classic 'We want you' recruitment style from the point of view of the recruiter.

Troye Sivan

I'm so ludicrously lucky, it would be disgusting if I didn't acknowledge it.

Troye Sivan

I feel like I'm the most creative when I'm bored.

It's really empowering when, as an artist, you can visualize something and then have the final product turn out the way you wanted it to.

Troye Sivan

I feel like I have just been really, really lucky to meet some of the most successful and great actors alive today.

Ever since I was a little kid, I got bored, so I learned to sing, and I started singing lessons. And then anytime I was bored, I would start writing and start messing around on my computer, making beats. Then I got bored and started making YouTube videos; that changed my life in a big way.

When I was younger, out in public, I never wanted to pop my hip and definitely made sure that my wrist was nice and firm. All these silly, prohibitive things.

Troye Sivan

I want to have kids and a hot husband.

Troye Sivan

I'm most proud of my work in the LGBTQ space. Feels like, above all else, that's something I want to do for the rest of my life.

Troye Sivan

People think I must have pushy parents, but that's not the case.

Troye Sivan

The things that excite me are staying home and cooking.

Troye Sivan

Someone actually asked me once if I used coming out as a publicity stunt. It's cool that we live in a time when being gay could be seen as helping your career.

Troye Sivan

All my friends were doing just dumb stuff that kids do, like making out with people at parties and starting to date... I didn't know any gay people growing up or any queer people growing up, and so I just really felt alone and kind of lost, and I just wasn't experiencing life.

I think pop music is in such an exciting place right now, and I do kind of credit that to Lorde with 'Royals.' I think that song changed everything in the pop scene. All of the sudden, alternative pop music became pop music.
