I've always strived to be successful, not famous.

I love it when people say things to me in public and want to meet me, because I want to meet them! Early on, my manager told me, 'If you want to sell 500,000 records, then go out there and meet 500,000 people.'

If you cry over a guy, then your friends can't date him. It can't even be considered.

The way I look at love is you have to follow it, and fall hard, if you fall hard. You have to forget about what everyone else thinks. It has to be an us-against-the-world mentality. You have to make it work by prioritizing it, and by falling in love really fast, without thinking too hard. If I think too hard about a relationship I'll talk myself out of it. I have rules for a lot of areas of my life. Love is not going to be one of them.

I’ve never been shy or secretive with the fact that if you walk into my life, you may be walking onto a record.

Love will find you when you least expect it.

If something happens to me, you're going to hear about it. I only know how to write songs about my life.
