The drama and the trauma of the relationship you have when you're 16 can mirror the one you have when you're 26. Life repeats itself.

Unique and different is the new generation of beautiful… You dont have to be like everybody else. In fact I don’t think you should.

For me, genres are a way for people to easily categorize music. But it doesn't have to define you. It doesn't have to limit you.

When I was a little girl I used to read fairy tales. In fairy tales you meet Prince Charming and he's everything you ever wanted. In fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. The bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is. Then you grow up and you realize that Prince Charming is not as easy to find as you thought. You realize the bad guy is not wearing a black cape and he's not easy to spot; he's really funny, and he makes you laugh, and he has perfect hair.

People say that about me, that I apparently buy houses near every boy I like — that’s a thing that I apparently do. If I like you I will apparently buy up the real-estate market just to freak you out so you leave me.
