I wanted us to have a friendly relationship [with Kanye West]. He promised to play the song for me, but he never did.

I think there's something so attractive about mystery. There's something so attractive about the chase. And the bad guy ... bad boys know how to keep the chase going throughout an entire relationship because you never know if you completely have them or not. That's why they're so hard to get over.

People throw rocks at things that shine.

You can walk away and say "We don't need this." but something in your eyes says "We can beat this.

There's a lot of pressure putting an album out all over the world and hoping people everywhere like it.

My attitude has always been if you get better and you see success, that should motivate you to even work harder, so that's kinda how I approach everything.

In a relationship each person should support the other; they should lift each other up.
