I let people fill in the blanks on their own. If they want to think about their ex, that's fine. If they want to think about maybe who one of my exes is, then that's fine. And it might not be right, because I'm the only one who knows what these songs are really about. It's the one shred of privacy I have in the matter.

I think I've developed, as many people do, this sense of, 'Don't say the wrong thing, or else people will point at you and laugh.'

Your success, your life, your happiness. Don't let mean people bring that down.

I dream about finding an exception and finding someone who would make me believe in love and realize that it can work out.

In this business you have to develop a thick skin, but I'm always going to feel everything. It's my nature.

If you're yelling you're the one who's lost control of the conversation.

Every one of my regrets has produced a song I'm proud of.
