I'm taking pictures in my mind so i can save them for a rainy day.

When you're 25 or 30, you know, you can't wear lime-green eye shadow anymore.

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.

I love conversations with kids in the meet and greet lines — little people with little voices! I love babies. Someday I would love to be a parent, but I want that time to come when I’ve experienced so much of the world. My life will be devoted to making that child’s life as wonderful, beautiful, magical and perfect as it can possibly be. I want to wait until there is no ounce of me left that has anything self-centered to experience.

My experience with songwriting is usually so confessional, it's so drawn from my own life and my own stories.

The lesson I've learned the most often in life is that you're always going to know more in the future than you know now.

You never imagine that when you say hello to someone and you fall in love, that some day you'll have to say goodbye.
