I don't know how to have a normal relationship because I try to act normal and love from a normal place and live a normal life, but there is sort of an abnormal magnifying glass, like telescope lens, on everything that happens.

You start to realize that the things that are different about you are the things that make you special. And, as cliche as at that sounds, you realize that if you are lucky enough to have something that is different about you...don't try to hide it. I don't try to blend in anymore, it's all about standing out.

I haven't had that one great love, which is good. I don't want that to be in the past - I want it to be in the future.

It's human nature to not say everything that's on your mind at the time you think it. Because we fear saying something that people will laugh at, people will think is dumb. We're afraid of being embarrassed.

All of my walls are covered with framed pictures of my friends.

I've made sure that in any situation and with any record label, I'm allowed to write my own music.

In my opinion, the only way to conquer stage fright is to get up on stage and play. Every time you play another show, it gets better and better.
