I've never been fascinated by the party lifestyle. Penciling in a night to get wasted is not something I want to do.

My parents moved across the country so I could pursue a dream.

While I wanted to be supportive of Kanye [west] on the phone call, you cannot 'approve' a song you haven't heard. Being falsely painted as a liar when I was never given the full story or played any part of the song is character assassination.

I think I have a big fear of things spiraling out of control. Out of control and dangerous and reckless and thoughtless scares me, because people get hurt.

My level of awkward makes everyone else feel normal

When we're trying to move on, the moments we go back to aren't dull ones. They're the big moments that meant everything.

I'm so lucky that I get to write my own music and write my own stories, so every single time I look down in the audience and I see somebody singing the words back to me, it makes it all worth it.
