I think that growing up is something that you should do gradually.

It’s the most maddening, beautiful, magical, horrible, painful, wonderful joyous thing in the world, love

I like touring extensively because I think the more hours you spend onstage, the more you know who you are onstage.

All of my songs are autobiographical.

In school if you're different that's uncool. But I try to maintain confidence in who I am...because...you know...I don't really want to change it.

I think that the idea of finding another person to share your life with is the most fascinating, beautiful quest you could ever be on in life. And yes, living your dreams is so important too, and a lot of times I’ve put that before everything else. But then you get to a place where the whole time you’re living these dreams, you look beside you to say to someone, “Hey, isn’t this so much fun?” And if there’s no one there to say it to, what’s the point?

Living alone, you can do so many fantastic things I've learned. You can like, walk around and have so many conversations with yourself and sing your thoughts. I think I'm the only one that does that.
