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.

In school if you're different that's uncool. But I try to maintain confidence in who I am...because...you know...I don't really want to change it.

You have to stop looking in the mirror and realize that your living for yourself, not other people.

Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place, and I can picture it after all these days.

If you ever think you're the only person in the world feeling a certain way, just please know that you're not.

Spending a lot of time alone, gave me a lot of time to think. A lot of time to think gave me the time to write songs.

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