Life is a ruthless game unless you play it good and right.

I am completely fascinated by the differences and comparisons between real life and fairy tales because we're raised as little girls to think that we're a princess and that Prince Charming is going to sweep us off our feet.

I don't have any interest in going out to clubs. I love people, and I love socializing, I just don't have any interest in being drunk.

Don't find love, let it find you. It's called falling in love because you don't force yourself to fall, you just do.

Life is like walking you take one step at a time.

When I listen to a song, I don't say, 'Oh my gosh, that vocal line she sang was the best thing I ever heard.' I'm thinking, 'That lyric just moves me. That lyric just said what I feel better than I could say it myself.'

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.
