I have a terrifying long list of fears. Literally everything - diseases, spiders... and people getting tired of me.

Beauty is sincerity.There are so many different ways someone can be beautiful.

We should love, not fall in love, because everything that falls, gets broken.

When I think about the things that cause me pain or the things that cause me trouble or frustration, it's not people asking for my autograph; it's people breaking my heart. That happens to you whether you've sold millions of records or whether you're taking classes at college. You're going to believe people when they say that they love you. I don't leave out details when I write songs about that. I try to make my songs as personal as possible because, ultimately, my music started out as just trying to turn my diary entries into something that was a piece of music. And that has never changed.

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.

Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone. I keep waiting for you, but you never come. Is this in my head? I don't know what to think.

I think Kenny Chesney or Garth Brooks would be the coolest duet partners. I look up to them so much for their work ethics.
