It's not about me - it's like, "How can I help you?" And when you give like that, you receive so much. It was an incredible experience, but it also gave me that bug: I wanted new music so badly.

I like the old, vintage Hollywood look.

And all I know is, you've got to give me everything. Nothing less 'cause, you know I give you all of me.

[Marriage] was the one thing I didn't want to fail at.

I remember the day I discovered James Dean and Marilyn Monroe. I don't know why it affected me so strongly, but I walked down to the corner store and bought every poster of them, and I did my whole room up. Overnight.

I think after doing Push and Shove and having it not be successful, I lost a lot of confidence. Songwriting, for me, has always been traumatic, and I've always made all these excuses. But I've realized that you have to just accept that it was a gift: "I don't know where it came from, I don't know how I did it, but I did write all those songs, and I gotta do it again."

I never wanted to go for the cute boys. Why would you wanna have a boyfriend that's cuter than you?
