If I could go back I wouldn't change anything. If I was popular I would have never left my bubble. I wouldn't have ever tired to do anything different. I would have never become happy.

My parents taught me never to judge others based on whom they love, what color their skin is, or their religion.

I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here, 'Cause I remember it all, all, all... too well...

Promise me this, that you'll stand by me forever. But if God forbid Fate should step in and force us into a goodbye. If you have children someday, when they point to the pictures please tell them my name. Tell them how the crowd went wild, tell them how I hope they shine.

I've never wanted to use my age as a gimmick, as something that would get me ahead of other people. I've wanted the music to do that.

You have to believe in love stories and prince charming and that eventually you'll find your own happily ever after.

I wrote a song called 'Red' and thinking about what that song means to me and all the different emotions on this album they're all pretty much about the tumultuous, crazy, insane, intense, semi-toxic relationships I've experienced in the last two years. All those emotions fanning from intense love, intense frustration, intense jealousy, confusion, all of that in my mind, all those emotions are red. There's nothing in between, there's nothing beige about those feelings and so I called my record that.
