I really enjoy English and poetry and writing classes. You do get writer's block when you're writing music, and having inspiration from other great writers is great. You have to look for inspiration because sometimes music isn't the only thing that you can look at.
Taylor MomsenLike, when I write a song, the song comes first before production. Everything is written on an acoustic guitar so you can strip away everything from it and have it be equally as entertaining and good without the bells and whistles.
Taylor MomsenI'm not interested in playing the field and all that stuff because frankly I'm not into frivolous relationships.
Taylor MomsenI don't believe there's a hole in the ground with demons in it but I could be wrong. Hell is all around us - it's the way we treat each other and the way we treat the Earth. We already live in it.
Taylor MomsenYou get more insight as you get older, on everything. I kind of woke up one morning and was like, 'Oh I see what's happening, I get everything'. I woke up and was like, 'I get it, I'm a product'.
Taylor MomsenWhen I realized I could actually make my decisions, it was a very strange feeling. It's like a switch went off in my brain, like, "Oh, then why am I doing this? I don't enjoy this, so I'm just gonna stop doing this."
Taylor MomsenNew York's home. It's everything I'd want it to be. It's the most inspiring city I've ever been to, and I haven't been everywhere in the world, but I've been to quite a few places.
Taylor MomsenWhere I'm at now is awesome. A different road might have led me to a different place, and I wouldn't be happy doing anything but music.
Taylor MomsenI think I'm a homebody. I don't talk to anyone. I sit at home, and no one asks me questions or I'm talking about goat noises.
Taylor MomsenEveryone likes to stereotype things or write them off as not that serious or "this is just a phase," especially when you're that young. The music was never a phase, but the wardrobe was certainly a phase, so I think that may have overshadowed the music in the beginning, for sure. I was so outrageous.
Taylor MomsenObviously everyone has things in their past that they don't enjoy looking back on [Laughs], but no, you can't change it.
Taylor MomsenI don't know what to do when I'm not working. I lose my mind if I'm not constantly doing something.
Taylor MomsenI think that me now, I wouldn't take a 16-year-old seriously in any capacity. "You're a kid, why would I listen to you? You're a child."
Taylor MomsenAgain, if you only know what you know, you don't know if something's good or bad. You don't have perspective.
Taylor MomsenI love comedy. If I could be a comedian - well, I probably would not take that job because it seems really hard, but I wish I could be.
Taylor MomsenI'd love to collaborate and write a song with Will Gallagher from Oasis. I think he's a great songwriter.
Taylor MomsenTouring definitely makes you appreciate home more, so when I can be home, I like to stay home.
Taylor MomsenEvery now and again I want to go to the beach and be in the sun, but that's a very rare feeling, so I could live in London, definitely.
Taylor MomsenMy legs are really long and that's cool apparently, but I'm totally klutzy. I mean, I'm like Bambi. I fall all over myself because I can't control my arms and my really long legs.
Taylor MomsenI have my favourite black knife with me all the time. It's a switchblade. It relaxes me to flick it.
Taylor MomsenYou can spend your whole life planning. But once you're ready, get out there and start doing it.
