I'm very aware and very conscious of the path I chose in life, and very aware of the path I didn't choose.

Don't find love, let it find you. It's called falling in love because you don't force yourself to fall, you just do.

I'm only me when I'm with you.

When I'm getting to know someone, I look for someone who has passions that I respect, like his career. Someone who loves what he does is really attractive. In high school, I used to think it was "like sooooo cool" if a guy had an awesome car. Now none of that matters. These days I look for character and honesty and trust.

I'm not that complicated. My complications come out in my songs. All you need to do to be my friend is like me.

If they don't like you for being yourself, be yourself even more.

We don’t just live in a celebrity take-down culture; we live in a take-down culture. People will find anything about you and twist it to where it’s weird or wrong or annoying or strange or bad. You have to live your life not only in spite of people who don’t understand you - you have to have more fun than they do.
