Always consider giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Until he establishes that this is a game... And if it's a game, then you need to win.

Music is art, and art is important and rare. Important, rare things are valuable. Valuable things should be paid for. It’s my opinion that music should not be free, and my prediction is that individual artists and their labels will someday decide what an album’s price point is. I hope they don’t underestimate themselves or undervalue their art.

I was in a love that was wonderful until it was terrible, and both people got hurt from it.

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

You can stay the same person you've always been even if everything around you changes.

I do write nice songs about the guys who are nice to me! Eventually, I'm sure one of them will write a response - that's a pretty scary concept, actually! But I make sure I only write bad songs about the ones who deserve it.

I have this really high priority on happiness and finding something to be happy about.
