I think the tiniest little thing can change the course of your day, which can change the course of your year, which can change who you are.

Never compare yourself to beautiful girls.

So many girls out there say, "I'm not a feminist" because they think it means something angry or disgruntled or complaining or they picture, like, rioting and picketing. It is not that at all. It just simply means that you believe that women and men should have equal rights and opportunities.

Words can break someone into a million pieces, but they can also put them back together. I hope you use yours for good, because the only words you'll regret more than the ones left unsaid are the ones you use to intentionally hurt someone.

The words. I love words. I love to write. Being an artist is what I love.

I've never gotten thick skin. If you close yourself off and you get this protective armor, there is a price you pay with that - of not feeling. And feeling is important when you are a songwriter.

Appreciate what you have while you have it and the beauty in what’s there right now and try to preserve it for tomorrow.
