I can say I'd honestly rather be happy than have 30 to 40 songs that I've written about these thrilling, exciting, horrible, unhappy times.

I think that it's okay to be mad at someone who hurt you. This isn't about, like, the pageantry of trying to seem like nothing affects you.

I dream about finding an exception and finding someone who would make me believe in love and realize that it can work out.

Every single one of us has a few months here or there that feel like dark months.

Most of my songs have names of people I've met or are dear to me. There are people who have privacy issues and about people knowing about their private life. But for me, I like to include few special names and few details about them to make the song very special to me.

I think who you are in school really sticks with you.

But then you make eye contact with someone across the room and it clicks and you’re right there in love again.
