Try things. Laugh a lot. Mess up. Apologize. Hug people. Take chances. Trust yourself. Lose things. Get over it.

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'm not concerned with people seeing me in a certain way. Some people see me as a kid, some people see me as an adult. But I'm seriously not going to complain how anybody sees me, as long as they see me.

I wouldn't want to date a pushover who would let me make all the plans and have all the control.

Anytime someone tells me that I can't do something, I want to do it more.

I have never used Auto-Tune in a live television performance, and I have never used Auto-Tune in any of my concerts. That is a promise.

I think that you can love people without it being the great love.
