In my opinion, the only way to conquer stage fright is to get up on stage and play. Every time you play another show, it gets better and better.

I never get tired of signing autographs 'cause I used to do it so much in class dreaming about the day that it might mean something to somebody.

Everything that happens to me gets put into a song. For some reason, I'm really comfortable talking about my personal life in songs. There, I don't hold back: names, dates, times, expressions on people's faces, exactly where we were and how it felt, what I wish I would have said to them in the moment. So I'm not only excited about sharing the songs with fans; I'm also pretty interested to hear the response from the guys I've written about on the record.

If you think about human nature, our favourite pair of shoes are the ones we bought yesterday, our favourite thing is the newest thing that we have…and the thing we’ve seen the most and for the longest period of time is our reflection in the mirror, so obviously that’s going to be our least favourite thing.

I wish all teenagers can filter through songs instead of turning to drugs and alcohol.

So there are different examples of fairy tales, and sometimes I believe in them and sometimes I don't.

I'm very aware and very conscious of the path I chose in life, and very aware of the path I didn't choose.
