Sometimes the people you thought would be there forever somehow aren't.

I feel the emotion that life conjures up and the songs I write get me closer to my feelings and realising who I am. It's a natural process.

I think you really have to tap into your sense of humor in order to survive.

If something happens to me, you're going to hear about it. I only know how to write songs about my life.

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.

You know, Katie Couric is one of my favorite people.
