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

Every one of my regrets has produced a song I'm proud of.

I never read one hateful thing said about me by some 12-year-old. So I got to live an actual life. And I've kept that mentality. Just because there's a hurricane going on around you doesn't mean you have to open the window and look at it.

I think there's something so attractive about mystery. There's something so attractive about the chase. And the bad guy ... bad boys know how to keep the chase going throughout an entire relationship because you never know if you completely have them or not. That's why they're so hard to get over.

You only get so many firsts, each one is a blessing.

I've been careful in love. I've been careless in love. And I've had adventures I wouldn't trade for anything.

Say it to them. Or say it to yourself in the mirror. Say it in a letter you'll never send or in a book millions might read someday. I think you deserve to look back on your life without a chorus of resounding voices saying 'I could've, but it's too late now.'
