I feel like in my music I can be a rebel. I can say things I wouldn't say in real life.

I always wanted to know, and I always used to daydream, about what it would be like to stand on a really big stage and sing songs for a lot of people, songs that I had written... Daydreaming was kind of my No. 1 thing when I was little, because I didn't have much of a social life going on.

The most miraculous process is watching a song go from a tiny idea in the middle of the night to something that 55,000 people are singing back to you.

Dating or finding someone is the last thing on my mind.

She can't see the way your eyes will light up when you smile.

I'm thankful that when I go to bed at night, that I have been myself that day. And, I have been myself all the days before that.

Hearing a crowd scream is the coolest sound in the world. It can motivate me to do anything.
