If a relationship is going to work, it will require compromise and, even then, it is not always going to end the way you want it to.

I respect people who are willing to deal with everything that comes with being a politician, but I'm not willing to deal with half the country rooting for you to fail. I'm a singer; I deal with enough. But at least half the country's not trying to destroy me.

There's a lot of hurry up and wait. But it gives you time to write a song.

I care more about the fans in general, just making sure they enjoy what I do. And then also I kind of had this kind of ideal of the kind of music I want to make and what I'm aiming for kind of creatively and just the quality of the music that I'm trying to make. And I have that in my head.

We all must follow a different path to let our light shine, and that's what makes us so unpredictable and unique.

I'm used to getting sexy sometimes in the lyrics.
