I'm a Sagittarius, and one of our major qualities is that we're blindly optimistic.

My dad (Scott Swift) believed in me, even when I didn't.He always knew I could do this. I’m sure that everyone in Reading remembers how much he talked about me. I thought that was sweet, but really I just wasn’t as sure it would happen. So, I just love my dad for believing in his little girl.

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.

When you’re young you just run, but you come back to what you need.

I love my fans, I could not be able to do it without you and I would not be here.

When you strategize a relationship too much, like, "We're not gonna be public about it, and we're gonna say this in interviews," when you think it all out, I think that complicates the relationship and I think that's unfair for the relationship.

To all the boys who inspired this album: You should've known. ;)
