Middle school was what programmed me to be semi-insecure, like, all of the time. I didn’t fit in….I’d stand on the outside of the circle but I was never really in. That’s when I started to realize there’s this thing called rejection.

Being "fearless" isn't about being unafraid, it's about being TERRIFIED and still going for it.

Relationships are like traffic lights. And I just have this theory that I can only exist in a relationship if it's a green light.

I still like to live in a whimsical world that seems more romantic and fantasy-related because real life seems so hard

I like things you can touch and things you can keep, because every bit of communication we have is ephemeral in nature. You can just delete an e-mail and it's like it was never there.

When I was 9 or 10, I used to get all the lead roles because I was the tallest person. But my interest in music soon drew me to country music. I was infatuated with the sound, with the storytelling. I could relate to it. I can't really tell you why. With me, it was just instinctual.

In my opinion, the only way to conquer stage fright is to get up on stage and play. Every time you play another show, it gets better and better.
