It can be heartbreaking when you find out that your fairytale image of the world doesn't match the reality.

I like touring extensively because I think the more hours you spend onstage, the more you know who you are onstage.

I do not need some guy around in order to get inspiration, in order to make a great record, in order to live my life, in order to feel okay about myself. And I wanted to show my fans the same thing.

Every day was a struggle. Forget making plans for life - we were just trying to make it to next week.

I love the ending of a movie where two people end up together. Preferably if there's rain and an airport or running or a confession of love.

Fearless is knowing that someday things will change.

When I'm 40 and nobody wants to see me in a sparkly dress anymore, I'll be, like: 'Cool, I'll just go in the studio and write songs for kids.'
