Just being a human being, I’ve realized that before every big problem you create for yourself, before every huge mess you have to clean up, there was a crucial moment where you could’ve just said no.

I’ve questioned everything about myself, every step of the way. You have to have the same amount of fear and self-doubt as you do hope and blind optimism.

(Talks about Miley Cyrus 'I always thought I'd be really fun to sing a song with Miley.

Ryan Seacrest: Trouble, trouble trouble. So why do girls go for the bad guys, what is it Taylor Swift? Why? Taylor Swift: Because maybe we could change them! Everybody wants to like tame a lion.

I really don’t want a compilation of sounds. I just need them to be songs.

You have to not only live your life in spite of people who don't understand you, you have to have more fun than they do.

Dude, my hair is like an architectural structure. It’s like… a building.
