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.

Well, you stood there with me in the doorway, my hands shake, I'm not usually this way. But you pull me in and I'm a little more brave. It's the first kiss, it's flawless, really something, it's fearless.

When I meet my fans, it's not like meeting a stranger. It's like saying hello to someone that I already know.

I know that if things hadn't gone the way they did then I wouldn't be where I am now.

Happiness isn't a constant. You get fleeting glimpses. You have to fight for those moments, but they make it all worth it.

As you experience love and relationships, you start to realize that love tends to end in a very painful goodbye.

I don't think I'd be a party girl [even if I were] in college. When I was in high school, I remember seeing girls crying in the bathroom every Monday about what they did at a party that weekend. I never wanted to be that girl crying in the bathroom. But there are certain things that I would like to do but can't. Sometimes I don't get invited to things because my friends know it's going to be a hassle to take me.
