The words. I love words. I love to write. Being an artist is what I love.

My head's never really quiet. The only time I can get it to turn off is if I watch 'CSI' or 'Law & Order,' where I have to follow the crime. If I can't turn my head off during that, I know I've really got a problem.

Different phases of your life have different levels of deep, traumatizing heartbreak, and in this period of my life, my heart was not irreparably broken. So it’s not as boy-centric of an album, because my life hasn’t been boy-centric.

I'm intrigued and drawn to people who know exactly who they are, who know what they want, who live life on their own terms.

I’m always going to be a hopeless romantic. Always.

When I was in high school, I remember seeing girls crying in the bathroom every Monday about what they did that weekend. I never wanted to be that girl crying in the bathroom.

Appreciate what you have while you have it.
