Maybe you're not meant to fit in. maybe you're supposed to stand out.

I can't deal with someone wanting to take a relationship backward or needing space or cheating on you.

The truth of it is that every singer out there with songs on the radio is raising the next generation. So make your words count.

Ever since I was a little kid I've been so glad to be from America and so glad to live here.

I love it when people say things to me in public and want to meet me, because I want to meet them! Early on, my manager told me, 'If you want to sell 500,000 records, then go out there and meet 500,000 people.'

I'd like to be my old self again but I'm still trying to find it

I'm so lucky that I get to write my own music and write my own stories, so every single time I look down in the audience and I see somebody singing the words back to me, it makes it all worth it.
