I would just be constantly writing all these zingers - like, 'Burn. That would really get her.' And I know people are going to obsess over who it's about, because they think they have all my relationships mapped out. But there's a reason there are not any overt call-outs in that song. My intent was not to create some gossip-fest. I wanted people to apply it to a situation where they felt betrayed in their own lives.

I think I've developed, as many people do, this sense of, 'Don't say the wrong thing, or else people will point at you and laugh.'

I have this really high priority on happiness and finding something to be happy about.

It’s okay to wonder how you could try so hard and still get stomped all over. Just don’t let them change you.

I'd like to do a completely off-the-wall collaboration. I would like one of my songs to be the hook to a rap song. That would be so much fun!

you're an expert at sorry and keeping the lines blurry

It's dangerous to read the Internet about yourself when you're me. Or when you're anyone in the public eye.
