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 have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to love... There's no pattern to it, except that it happens to all of us, of course. I can't plan for it. I can't predict how it'll end up. Because love is unpredictable and it's frustrating and it's tragic and it's beautiful.

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

Sometimes when relationships end, you write an e-mail and say everything you wish you said. Sometimes you don't push send.

It's so much easier to like people, and to let people in, to trust them until they prove that you should do otherwise. The alternative is being an iceberg.

I think love is one of those things that it's only really bad because it was once good. You can't miss something that was never amazing. So, what I've learned is that even if it ends badly, it's worth it if it made you feel something, if it taught you something.

People like you always want back the love they pushed aside. But people like me are gone forever when you say goodbye.
