My dad (Scott Swift) believed in me, even when I didn't.He always knew I could do this. I’m sure that everyone in Reading remembers how much he talked about me. I thought that was sweet, but really I just wasn’t as sure it would happen. So, I just love my dad for believing in his little girl.

Every day was a struggle. Forget making plans for life - we were just trying to make it to next week.

I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here, 'Cause I remember it all, all, all... too well...

Getting a great idea with song writing is a lot like love. You don't know why this one is different, but it is. You don't know why this one is better, but it is. It sticks in your head, and you can't stop thinking about it.

People like you always want back the love they pushed aside. But people like me are gone forever when you say goodbye.

I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is FEARLESS.

If you're trying too hard to be the girl next door, you're not going to be.
