You and I both know there's got to be some greater storyline for you than 'girl gets heart broken, was sad forever'. I think a nice one would be 'girl gets heart broken, was sad for a while but in her heartbreak she found freedom, friends, and the ability to look back and laugh at all she'd learned. She now lives her life on her own terms and still has fantastic hair.'

My audience has really become a very diverse group of people. It's not just 15-year-old girls. That's kind of what allows me to write from all the different places I want to write from.

I didn't know what a stockbroker was when I was eight, but I would just tell everybody that's what I was going to be.

Given that everyone is giving you their own opinion about him, I think the only opinion you should listen to is yours.

Let go of people who bring you down, and surround yourself with those who bring out the best in you.

Maybe you won't find a place where you fit in for a very long time, but you eventually will.

I feel the emotion that life conjures up and the songs I write get me closer to my feelings and realising who I am. It's a natural process.
