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

The worst possible way a relationship can end is when somebody cheats on somebody else.

I've been my mom's kitchen helper since I was a little kid.

I’ve learned that you can’t predict [love] or plan for it. For someone like me who is obsessed with organization and planning, I love the idea that love is the one exception to that. Love is the one wild card.

I'm always afraid of failing. I have to quiet that fear if I'm going to get up in the morning.

People like music when they're in love, but they don't need it as much. You need music when you're missing someone or you're pining for someone or you're forgetting someone or you're trying to process what just happened.

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.
