You can be obsessed with the bad things people say and the good things; either way, you're obsessed with yourself, and I'm not - you can become unhinged so easily.

Band-Aids don't fix bullet holes. You say sorry just for show. You live like that, you live with ghosts.

The most miraculous process is watching a song go from a tiny idea in the middle of the night to something that 55,000 people are singing back to you.

I never want to change so much that people can't recognize me.

I don't need to edit names out of songs and I don't need to edit details out of my songs because I've always been able to be honest with my music. That's the one place where I'm never ever going to change how I do things.

Be yourself, chase your dreams, and just never say never. That's the best advice I could ever give someone.
