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

People don't take you seriously if you scream, if you raise your voice, especially when you're a 19-year-old girl.

I think I have to trust that you end up with the person you're supposed to end up with, and that everything in between is there to teach you stuff.

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

I’ve questioned everything about myself, every step of the way. You have to have the same amount of fear and self-doubt as you do hope and blind optimism.

I can't promise you that you'll ever live in a world where people don't hurt your feelings. But I can promise you that if you keep on moving and taking one day at a time, the opinions and words of people who hurt you will matter less and less to you.

Most of my songs have names of people I've met or are dear to me. There are people who have privacy issues and about people knowing about their private life. But for me, I like to include few special names and few details about them to make the song very special to me.
