The only thing I can't control is the spin in the press. And so if I know I can't control that, I have to let it go.

When I was a little girl I used to read fairy tales. In fairy tales you meet Prince Charming and he's everything you ever wanted. In fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. The bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is. Then you grow up and you realize that Prince Charming is not as easy to find as you thought. You realize the bad guy is not wearing a black cape and he's not easy to spot; he's really funny, and he makes you laugh, and he has perfect hair.

Love is unpredictable and it’s frustrating and it’s tragic and it’s beautiful.

It took a while to understand the beauty of just letting go

I want to build a life with someone that's based on their dreams as well as my dreams. I think that the idea of finding another person to share with is the most fascinating, beautiful quest you could ever be on in life.

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

A great song will say how you feel better than you ever could.
