While I wanted to be supportive of Kanye [west] on the phone call, you cannot 'approve' a song you haven't heard. Being falsely painted as a liar when I was never given the full story or played any part of the song is character assassination.

I love trying to beat what I've done so far.

The one place where I'm allowed to rebel, and the one place where I'm allowed to not worry about censoring myself is my music.

My dad is adorably optimistic, positive, pie-in-the-sky. He thinks every new song I write is my best. He sells T-shirts at my merchandise stands and hands out guitar picks to fans.

You'll always know more in the future than you know now.

We were both young when I first saw you. I close my eyes and the flashback starts. I'm standin' there on a balcony in summer air.

Forgetting someone is like getting over a hundred addictions everyday.
