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

My favorite thing in the world is telling stories, and most of what I do is telling stories through music.

One element of Madonna's career that really takes center stage is how many times she's reinvented herself. It's easier to stay in one look, one comfort zone, one musical style. It's inspiring to see someone whose only predictable quality is being unpredictable.

Everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like we're 22.

You will always be criticized and teased and bullied for things that make you different, but usually those things will be what set you apart. The things that set you apart from the pack, the things that you once thought were your weaknesses will someday become your strengths.

I've gotten into this nasty habit of running away from love, but maybe one day I can find the exception to that.

All of my songs are autobiographical.
