That’s always the hardest thing when someone completely has you fooled so much, that you think they’re just never going to hurt you, then they do. That’s when you get the worst heartbreak.

At a certain point, if you chase two rabbits, you lose them both.

Growing up is scary because it happens without you knowing it.

I think I have to trust that you end up with the person you're supposed to end up with, and that everything in between is there to teach you stuff.

I don't know if I could do this with the same energy, and in the same way - all the costume changes and glitter and hair and makeup - all the time. When I'm in my 50s, I kind of think I'll want to be in a garden.

A lot of people ask me, 'How did you have the courage to walk up to record labels when you were 12 or 13 and jump right into the music industry?'

I like to write about love and love lost because I feel like there are so many different subcategories of emotions.
