I leave the genre labeling to other people. I really do. If I were to think too hard about it, that would stifle you creatively. If you think too hard about who other people want you to be as an artist, it stops you from being who you want to be as an artist.

I’ve learned that you can’t predict [love] or plan for it. For someone like me who is obsessed with organization and planning, I love the idea that love is the one exception to that. Love is the one wild card.

When we meet someone and we fall in love we don’t ever imagine that it’s going to end.

I think I have to trust that you end up with the person you're supposed to end up with, and that everything in between is there to teach you stuff.

The world doesn’t owe you anything. You have to work for everything you get and you have to appreciate every bit of success the world gives you.

You can draw inspiration from anything. If you're a good storyteller, you can take a dirty look somebody gives you, or if a guy you used to have flirtations with starts dating a new girl, or somebody you're casually talking to says something that makes you so mad - you can create an entire scenario around that.

In life and love, you learn that there comes a time to let go and move on.
