Writing 'We Are Never Getting Back Together' was one of the most hilarious experiences I have ever had in the studio because it just happened so naturally.

When we fall in love and we have a first kiss with someone, we never ever imagine that someday that could be a last kiss.

When I hear that high-pitched sound of all those people screaming together, it's like, I want to get on stage right now. It's the most amazing feeling.

I think that you can love people without it being the great love.

I'm always afraid of failing. I have to quiet that fear if I'm going to get up in the morning.

You are the only one who gets to decide what you will be remembered for.

The music industry itself is changing so quickly, that everything new, like Spotify, all feels to me a bit like a grand experiment. And I’m not willing to contribute my life’s work to an experiment that I don’t feel fairly compensates the writers, producers, artists, and creators of this music. And I just don’t agree with perpetuating the perception that music has no value and should be free.
