My audience has really become a very diverse group of people. It's not just 15-year-old girls. That's kind of what allows me to write from all the different places I want to write from.

Fearless is not the absence of fear. Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you.

I think I've developed, as many people do, this sense of, 'Don't say the wrong thing, or else people will point at you and laugh.'

I write a lot of songs about love and I think that’s because to me love seems like this huge complicated thing. But it seems like every once in a while, two people get it figured out, two people get it right. And so I think the rest of us, we walk around daydreaming about what that might be like. To find that one great love, where all of a sudden everything that seemed to be so complicated, became simple. And everything that used to seem so wrong all of a sudden seemed right because you were with the person who made you feel fearless.

Sometimes the people you thought would be there forever somehow aren't.

Anything you put your mind to and add your imagination into can make your life a lot better and a lot more fun.

I only sing in my church choir. Except the other night, I stole the show at karaoke night.
