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.

I've been singing Shakira songs in front of my bathroom mirror into my hairbrush forever. It's like a daily routine.

But, I've always loved John Mayer and I think T-Pain is brilliant.

Sometimes I write about my own life. And sometimes I write about situations I see my friends going through. Sometimes I write about a scene I saw in a movie. I take inspiration from all different places.

If you go too far down the rabbit hole of what people think about you, it can change everything about who you are.

Standing there at the stage door to the rest of your life. Time to dip your toe into the deep end. Try things. Say hi already. Laugh a lot. Mess up. Apologize. Mess up again. Hug people. Take chances. Trust yourself. Lose things. Get over it. Hold your friends close. Gather your strength. Gain wisdom and beautiful stories. Be brave, and you'll have the time of your life.

If guys don't want me to write bad songs about them, they shouldn't do bad things.
