I keep going back to love when I write songs because I can't figure it out.

I think when people make a record with a goal in mind - like taking it to the next level or making them seem more mature - that gets in the way of writing great songs.

I think the worst part about a breakup sometimes, if one could choose a worst part, would possibly be if you get out of a relationship, and you don't recognize yourself because you changed a lot about you.

I think there's something so attractive about mystery.

I think I fall into the category of the hopeless romantic, and I think youdo too, because you're here...The tricky thing about us, the hopeless romantic, is when we fall in love with someone, when we say hello—and it’s magical—we never imagine that hello can turn into a goodbye. And when we kiss someone—and it’s magical—we never ever imagine that it can turn into a last kiss.

There are no rules when it comes to love. I just try to let love surprise me because you never know who you’re going to fall in love with.

Words are everything to me. Words can build you up and feel so good. On the flip side, words can absolutely demolish you.
