I've been on tour since I was 16, and I always do meet-and-greets before and after shows, so you kind of build these friendships with people. I have girls come up to me and tell me exactly what's going on in their love lives.

Got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane. But I got a blank space baby, and I'll write your name.

I love to write honest songs that name real people, then get up onstage and live out those emotions in front of 15,000 people.

I really like my life right now. I have friends around me all the time. I’ve started painting more. I’ve been working out a lot. I’ve started to really take pride in being strong. I love the album I made. I love that I moved to New York. So in terms of being happy, I’ve never been closer to that.

I wanted us to have a friendly relationship [with Kanye West]. He promised to play the song for me, but he never did.

I've been singing Shakira songs in front of my bathroom mirror into my hairbrush forever. It's like a daily routine.

I think I feel in love with words before I feel in love with music.
