Being "fearless" isn't about being unafraid, it's about being TERRIFIED and still going for it.

The worst possible way a relationship can end is when somebody cheats on somebody else.

As your career grows, the list of things that makes you happy should not become smaller, it should become bigger.

I am getting to the point where the only love worth being in is the love worth singing about.

I've never gotten thick skin. If you close yourself off and you get this protective armor, there is a price you pay with that - of not feeling. And feeling is important when you are a songwriter.

For a female to write about her feelings, and then be portrayed as some clingy, insane, desperate girlfriend in need of making you marry her and have kids with her, I think that's taking something that potentially should be celebrated - a woman writing about her feelings in a confessional way - that's taking it and turning it and twisting it into something that is frankly a little sexist.

I feel like my music has become a lot of things. It's hard to label the evolution, but I like there to be an evolution. I just like to paint with all different kinds of colors.
