I don't know if I could do this with the same energy, and in the same way - all the costume changes and glitter and hair and makeup - all the time. When I'm in my 50s, I kind of think I'll want to be in a garden.

Seems like there's always someone who disapproves. They'll judge it like they know about me and you.

And if you're horrible to me I'm going to write a song about you and you are not going to like it. That's how I operate.

All you need to do to be my friend is like me.

People talk to me a lot about, "Why don't you ever rebel?" And I feel like I do rebel. To me, rebelling is - is that rush you get when you sing a song about someone and you know they're in the crowd.

The world doesn’t owe you anything. You have to work for everything you get and you have to appreciate every bit of success the world gives you.

Sometimes when relationships end, you write an e-mail and say everything you wish you said. Sometimes you don't push send.
