You pay for good days by then having bad days. You pay for joy with pain.

I stay out too late, got nothing in my brain.

I don't mind being pale. In high school, it seemed like everybody cared about being tan all year round, but I haven't really thought about it since then. I don't go to a tanning bed, and I get bored when I lay out. I put sunscreen on when I'm in the sun, and sometimes I get tan, but I don't really think about it very much.

Sometimes when relationships end, you write an e-mail and say everything you wish you said. Sometimes you don't push send.

I started making choices based on what I wanted, and didn’t feel like I needed to justify them. If I wanted to cut my hair, I did it. If I wanted to move to New York, I did it. If I wanted to take a spontaneous road trip, I did it. At 24 I decided that my life is enough for me, and I stopped looking for some other piece to complete it.

I'm not that complicated. My complications come out in my songs. All you need to do to be my friend is like me.

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