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

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.

We find ourselves in that situation where we want to believe, we want to think we're the exception, we want to think we can change someone or tame a lion or make a bad guy good or something like that but 9 times out of 10 we end up looking back going, "Oh, shame on me, should've seen that one coming!"

When you hear people making hateful comments, stand up to them. Point out what a waste it is to hate, and you could open their eyes.

I'm sick of the tabloids' saying I obsess over guys. Why would you obsess over guys? They don't like it.

I think songwriting is the ultimate form of being able to make anything that happens in your life productive.

The one place where I'm allowed to rebel, and the one place where I'm allowed to not worry about censoring myself is my music.
