You have people come into your life shockingly and surprisingly. You have losses that you never thought you'd experience. You have rejection and you have learn how to deal with that and how to get up the next day and go on with it.

One of my big goals as a human being is to continue to write what's really happening to me, even if it's a tough pill to swallow for people around me.... I do fear that if I ever were to have someone in my life who mattered, I would second-guess every one of my lyrics.

And if you're horrible to me I'm going to write a song about you and you are not going to like it. That's how I operate.

The thing about life is, every time you learn a lesson, another is waiting right at the corner. You never know everything.

Different phases of your life have different levels of deep, traumatizing heartbreak, and in this period of my life, my heart was not irreparably broken. So it’s not as boy-centric of an album, because my life hasn’t been boy-centric.

I've found time can heal most anything and you just might find who you're supposed to be.

So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time. As far as I'm concerned you're just another picture to burn.
