Keeping your emotions all locked up is something that’s unfair to you. When you clearly know how you feel. You should say it.

When I'm getting to know someone, I look for someone who has passions that I respect, like his career. Someone who loves what he does is really attractive.

In life, you learn lessons. And sometimes you learn them the hard way. Sometimes you learn them too late.

I second-guess and overthink and rethink every single thing that I do.

I love conversations with kids in the meet and greet lines — little people with little voices! I love babies. Someday I would love to be a parent, but I want that time to come when I’ve experienced so much of the world. My life will be devoted to making that child’s life as wonderful, beautiful, magical and perfect as it can possibly be. I want to wait until there is no ounce of me left that has anything self-centered to experience.

I write songs that are like diary entries. I have to do it in order to feel sane.

My favorite thing in the world is telling stories, and most of what I do is telling stories through music.
