I get so excited when a song I wrote that's very personal to me goes No. 1 and I look down and see people singing the words back to me.

I don't know how to have a normal relationship because I try to act normal and love from a normal place and live a normal life, but there is sort of an abnormal magnifying glass, like telescope lens, on everything that happens.

Mom is a planner, an organizer. She's very strong and practical. She's the person that'll tell me if I ever start to change my personality. The balance of the two of them created my personality.

I want to write a song for someone who has just fallen in love or someone single and living their live.

There's no regimen. There's no personal trainer. I love to go hiking because it's an experience. If I need to gain stamina for a tour, I will run every single night on the treadmill, but I don't necessarily like being at the gym.

Never believe anyone who tells you that you don't deserve what you want.

Even if you're happy with the life you've chosen, you're still curious about the other options.
