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.

I really like Lady GaGa and everything she is for her fans.

When I meet my fans, it's not like meeting a stranger. It's like saying hello to someone that I already know.

When I think about the things that cause me pain or the things that cause me trouble or frustration, it's not people asking for my autograph; it's people breaking my heart. That happens to you whether you've sold millions of records or whether you're taking classes at college. You're going to believe people when they say that they love you. I don't leave out details when I write songs about that. I try to make my songs as personal as possible because, ultimately, my music started out as just trying to turn my diary entries into something that was a piece of music. And that has never changed.

I’m beginning to think that you don’t find happiness from living your life looking ahead or back… that you find it when you look around.

You meet someone and it’s so much more than meeting them. It’s so much bigger and it’s like you’re enchanted by them.

Be the fearless girl that everyone knows would dare to do anything.
