On Orlando and speaking at Stonewall: " Uh, you know. I'm in the middle of release week which is when the week when you release your album. It's a very busy time, but when I heard the vigil was happening. I had my team reach out to see if there was anything I could do to win my support. Um, the LGBT community has been such a huge supporter of me from the earliest days of my career. Um, so again anything I can ever do, I would be there. I spoke and I didn't have anything prepared. I just tried to speak from the heart and lend any support I could. I've never experienced hurt and pain as deep as the families. I'm sure a feeling at the moment of the victims."

On increasing security at Meet and Greets after Grimmie's death ... "Well, I was talking to my manager about it the other day. Interestingly enough, in an interview a while ago, he mentioned that he thinks that security needs to be increased at venues. Just something that should be looked at across the country and across the world. I think it's obviously very potent. I don't know if I can comment on the whole situation for what needs to be changed to fix this situation, but my heart goes out to Christina's family. It's just so heartbreaking."

On Nude Scenes .... [Nick] I had a scene in the show that just aired this last weekend or last week. Its all tastefully done I think in the show. [Carolina] So, no full frontal from Nick Jonas? [Nick] No, not in Kingdom at least.
