You got a way with words, you keep me smiling, even when it hurts.

When I'm writing music, I'm not acting it out - it's all me. I feel that my responsibility is to be truthful about myself, first and foremost. I'm not going to sing things I don't believe in no matter who is benefitting from it.

I really admire artists that are willing to take a different approach and a different angle to their shows.

I played a lot of football when I was younger. I'm a good receiver, actually.

I wouldn't call myself a feminist, because I think there are differences between men and women.

I find that the very things that I get criticized for, which is usually being different and just doing my own thing and just being original, is the very thing that's making me successful.

One day, someone said to me, 'Do you want to go jump out of an airplane?' I felt like I had nothing to lose anymore, so I said, 'Why not?' And every day since then, I ask myself that question.
