Everything that happens to me gets put into a song. For some reason, I'm really comfortable talking about my personal life in songs. There, I don't hold back: names, dates, times, expressions on people's faces, exactly where we were and how it felt, what I wish I would have said to them in the moment. So I'm not only excited about sharing the songs with fans; I'm also pretty interested to hear the response from the guys I've written about on the record.

If you cry over a guy, then your friends can't date him. It can't even be considered.

I think I've developed, as many people do, this sense of, 'Don't say the wrong thing, or else people will point at you and laugh.'

So there are different examples of fairy tales, and sometimes I believe in them and sometimes I don't.

We don’t just live in a celebrity take-down culture; we live in a take-down culture. People will find anything about you and twist it to where it’s weird or wrong or annoying or strange or bad. You have to live your life not only in spite of people who don’t understand you - you have to have more fun than they do.

Music is my shining light, my favorite thing in the world. T get me to stop doing it for one second would be difficult!

You have to able to make fun of yourself. Don't take things too seriously and when people make fun of you, laugh at it.
