I fought the idea of having security for a very long time, because I really value normalcy. I really do. I like to be able to take a drive by myself.

I didn't know what a stockbroker was when I was eight, but I would just tell everybody that's what I was going to be.

Every single one of the guys that I've written songs about has been tracked down on MySpace by my fans.

Wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts.

I wish all teenagers can filter through songs instead of turning to drugs and alcohol.

Writing 'We Are Never Getting Back Together' was one of the most hilarious experiences I have ever had in the studio because it just happened so naturally.

I don't like to feel like I'm some fragile package that has to be shipped by high-priority mail and handled with white gloves.
