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

People say you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone, but the truth is you just never thought you’d ever lose it.

Words are everything to me. Words can build you up and feel so good. On the flip side, words can absolutely demolish you.

A lot of people have pretty little heads, but it's difficult to find a pretty little mind.

I've seen my friends take someone back after they've cheated because they fit perfectly.

'Love Story' is actually about a guy that I almost dated. But when I introduced him to my family and my friends, they all said they didn't like him. All of them!

When I think about the things that cause me pain or the things that cause me trouble or frustration, it's not people asking for my autograph; it's people breaking my heart. That happens to you whether you've sold millions of records or whether you're taking classes at college. You're going to believe people when they say that they love you. I don't leave out details when I write songs about that. I try to make my songs as personal as possible because, ultimately, my music started out as just trying to turn my diary entries into something that was a piece of music. And that has never changed.
