I don't seem to have any real strategy or pattern when it comes to love... At times I've been really guarded and careful and afraid to trust someone. But other times, you want to jump in headfirst. I've had moments of thinking, this is who I love and I don't care what anyone says. Those moments are beautiful and wild and exciting, but I've learned that those moments can end up hurting you in the end. I've been careful in love. I've been careless in love. And I've had adventures I wouldn't trade for anything.

I like touring extensively because I think the more hours you spend onstage, the more you know who you are onstage.

I've never wanted to use my age as a gimmick, as something that would get me ahead of other people. I've wanted the music to do that.

I've gotten into this nasty habit of running away from love, but maybe one day I can find the exception to that.

Darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream.

'Love Story' I wrote on my bedroom floor in about 20 minutes.

For everything I do, I think about a 6-year-old girl and her mom that I saw at my concert last night. I think about what those two individuals would think if I were at a club last night. I never want to be arrested, and I never want to get a DUI, those are my moral values.
