If guys don't want me to write bad songs about them, they shouldn't do bad things.

You will always be criticized and teased and bullied for things that make you different, but usually those things will be what set you apart. The things that set you apart from the pack, the things that you once thought were your weaknesses will someday become your strengths.

You have to be happy with who you are and the choices you make. If you don't like yourself, you'll never be truly happy.

People haven't always been there for me, but music always has.

so i sneak out to the garden to see you, we keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew, so close your eyes, escape this town for a little while.

When I meet my fans, it's not like meeting a stranger. It's like saying hello to someone that I already know.

You pay for good days by then having bad days. You pay for joy with pain.
