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

I think that there's a difference between getting your heart broken and getting let down.

Love is unpredictable and it’s frustrating and it’s tragic and it’s beautiful.

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'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.

I think my favorite thing about seasons changing is the opportunity to look different.

People say you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone, but the truth is you just never thought you’d ever lose it.
