You are the best thing that's ever been mine.

Music is art, and art is important and rare. Important, rare things are valuable. Valuable things should be paid for. It’s my opinion that music should not be free, and my prediction is that individual artists and their labels will someday decide what an album’s price point is. I hope they don’t underestimate themselves or undervalue their art.

For some reason, I'm really comfortable talking about my personal life in songs.

Don't find love, let it find you. It's called falling in love because you don't force yourself to fall, you just do.

I want to write a song for someone who has just fallen in love or someone single and living their live.

My parents raised me to never feel like I was entitled to success.That you have to work for it. You have to work so hard for it. And sometimes then you don't even get where you need to go.

Your success, your life, your happiness. Don't let mean people bring that down.
