I wouldn't want to date a pushover who would let me make all the plans and have all the control.

Love is unpredictable and it’s frustrating and it’s tragic and it’s beautiful.

I wrote a song called 'Red' and thinking about what that song means to me and all the different emotions on this album they're all pretty much about the tumultuous, crazy, insane, intense, semi-toxic relationships I've experienced in the last two years. All those emotions fanning from intense love, intense frustration, intense jealousy, confusion, all of that in my mind, all those emotions are red. There's nothing in between, there's nothing beige about those feelings and so I called my record that.

You might think I'm bulletproof, but I'm not.

I have never used Auto-Tune in a live television performance, and I have never used Auto-Tune in any of my concerts. That is a promise.

When you hear people making hateful comments, stand up to them. Point out what a waste it is to hate, and you could open their eyes.

I don't like to feel like I'm some fragile package that has to be shipped by high-priority mail and handled with white gloves.
