For so long, I was searching for something to be proud of. But at a certain point, I realized, 'Wait, I'm doing what I want to be doing. I'm not wanting to do it; I'm doing it.' And that's awesome.

I decided at 15 that I didn't want to be one of those artists that gets up and sings love songs they don't mean. I decided that I was going to be me to the fullest extent, that my songs were going to reflect relationships I've had, things I've been through, and even the stuff I'm embarrassed about.

There's something about breaking up with someone - you just look hotter than you ever did before.

Long-term relationships are an everyday choice. It's harder to be in a marriage than it is to bounce from one relationship to the next.

We're not broken, just bent, and we can learn to love again.

I know I should stop smoking, but it scares me. I mean, what would I turn to next?

Gotta get up and try.
