When I was in high school, I remember seeing girls crying in the bathroom every Monday about what they did that weekend. I never wanted to be that girl crying in the bathroom.

I'm not that complicated. My complications come out in my songs. All you need to do to be my friend is like me.

I've got my Grammys on top of my piano and I look at them when I play.

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.

In life, you learn lessons. And sometimes you learn them the hard way. Sometimes you learn them too late.

I think I fall into the category of the hopeless romantic, and I think youdo too, because you're here...The tricky thing about us, the hopeless romantic, is when we fall in love with someone, when we say hello—and it’s magical—we never imagine that hello can turn into a goodbye. And when we kiss someone—and it’s magical—we never ever imagine that it can turn into a last kiss.

The term trying to forget someone is so awful because you’ll never forget someone if you’re trying to forget them.
