I think that as you grow up, as you get older, we can't get bitter, we can't get jaded.

Always consider giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Until he establishes that this is a game... And if it's a game, then you need to win.

When I was growing up, I didn't really know much about being popular or cliques or anything like that. In elementary school and middle school, you start to kind of realize what it's all about. There are cool kids, and then there's you, and you're just trying to figure out where you fit in.I learned a lot about acceptance and rejection,Those are the themes that you'll find spread throughout my music and weaved in throughout all of the lyrics. I really know what it's like to be accepted, and I also know what it's like to be rejected. And those are lessons I learned in Wyomissing.

We were built to fall apart and fall back together.

We don't wish for the easy stuff. We wish for big things. Things that are ambitious, out of reach.

I'm only me when I'm with you.

I never want to end up being a self-centered, vain human being.
