I just want to spend the rest of my life with someone who makes me smile, laugh, feel special, and supports me.

Once you think about it, aren't the people who are living their lives without worrying about other people's opinions having more fun than those judging them?

If you are lucky enough to find something that you love, and you have a shot at being good at it, don't stop, don't put it down.

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.

Different phases of your life have different levels of deep, traumatizing heartbreak, and in this period of my life, my heart was not irreparably broken. So it’s not as boy-centric of an album, because my life hasn’t been boy-centric.

When I was growing up, I didn't really know much about being popular or cliques or anything like that. In elementary school and middle school, you start to kind of realize what it's all about. There are cool kids, and then there's you, and you're just trying to figure out where you fit in.I learned a lot about acceptance and rejection,Those are the themes that you'll find spread throughout my music and weaved in throughout all of the lyrics. I really know what it's like to be accepted, and I also know what it's like to be rejected. And those are lessons I learned in Wyomissing.

'Mean' is a song I wrote about somebody who wrote things that were so mean so many times that it would ruin my day. Then it would ruin the next day. And it would level me so many times, I just felt like I was being hit in the face every time this person would take to their computer.
