I still have mixed feelings about what growing up is - this thing that happens to everyone, so I've heard.

I think that it's okay to be mad at someone who hurt you. This isn't about, like, the pageantry of trying to seem like nothing affects you.

You might think I'm bulletproof, but I'm not.

For me, writing a song, I sit down and the process doesn't really involve me thinking about the demo-graphic of people I'm trying to hit or who I want to be able to relate to the song or what genre of music it falls under.

I think that it’s fearless to fall for your best friend, even though he’s in love with someone else.

I want to build a life with someone that's based on their dreams as well as my dreams. I think that the idea of finding another person to share with is the most fascinating, beautiful quest you could ever be on in life.

I was from a small town, and nobody really expects you to leave, especially before you graduate. That doesn't happen.
