Sometimes when relationships end, you write an e-mail and say everything you wish you said. Sometimes you don't push send.

I don't think I'd ever make an album of just covers because I love writing my own music.

There are times when you get frustrated, but the one thing you always focus on is treating people well. You just cannot storm off and freak out.

I'm the kind of person who needs to feel like everything happens for a reason. When you date a guy and it goes badly, that's horrible. But if you can write a song about it, then it was worth it.

Just because as human beings, what we can't have is what we reply in our head over and over again before we go to sleep.

I didn't know what a stockbroker was when I was eight, but I would just tell everybody that's what I was going to be.

I find it relatively easy to keep my clothes on because I don't really feel like taking them off. It's not an urge I have. For me, 'risky' is revealing what really happened in my life through music. Risky is writing confessional songs and telling the true story about a person with enough details so everyone knows who that person is. That's putting myself out there, maybe even more than taking my shirt off.
