I never live in the present. I'd do interviews and people will say, "Isn't this great?" or "Can you believe?" And I would react, like, "No, I can't believe it because I'm not living in this moment."

I'm kinda saving myself for Miley Cyrus.

I don't feel like I'm very pop-star lame, but I'm definitely not hipster-cool.

Comparisons are easily done, once you've had a taste of perfection

Throw your stick and stones, throw your bombs and your blows, but you're not gonna break my soul.

I don't want to completely self-sabotage everything that I've got and alienate everyone. But I definitely want to take some chances as I always have.

I'd never devote a whole record to heartbreak.
