One of my big goals as a human being is to continue to write what's really happening to me, even if it's a tough pill to swallow for people around me.... I do fear that if I ever were to have someone in my life who mattered, I would second-guess every one of my lyrics.

I was never a boy magnet at school. There was always the girl all the guys liked and wanted to date, but it was never me.

At some point, you grow out of being attracted to that flame that burns you over and over and over again.

I wouldn't want to date a pushover who would let me make all the plans and have all the control.

I think that the idea of having a different approach to every single one of my albums is so exciting to me. I never want to make the same record twice. Why do it? What's the point?

Words, how little they mean when they are too late.

Part of me feels you can't say you were truly in love if it didn't last. If I end up getting married and having kids, that's when I'll know it's real - because it lasted.
