I'm sick of the tabloids' saying I obsess over guys. Why would you obsess over guys? They don't like it.

I like to write about relationships. I like it when my friends come over and we crowd around the piano and sing Journey songs at the top of our lungs... And I like things that make me feel seven again. I don't ever look down on people for the way they choose to have fun; it's just not necessarily the way I like to have fun.

It's so much easier to like people, and to let people in, to trust them until they prove that you should do otherwise. The alternative is being an iceberg.

Listening to my songs is like reading my diary.

I let people fill in the blanks on their own. If they want to think about their ex, that's fine. If they want to think about maybe who one of my exes is, then that's fine. And it might not be right, because I'm the only one who knows what these songs are really about. It's the one shred of privacy I have in the matter.

All those emotions spanning from intense love, intense frustration, intense jealously, all those feelings are red.

There are no rules when it comes to love. I just try to let love surprise me because you never know who you’re going to fall in love with.
