(Talks about Miley Cyrus 'I always thought I'd be really fun to sing a song with Miley.

We need music the most when we’re feeling things really intensely. I think the most intense times in your life are when you’re either falling in love or losing it

In this business you have to develop a thick skin, but I'm always going to feel everything. It's my nature.

I like to write about love and love lost because I feel like there are so many different subcategories of emotions.

I really like my life right now. I have friends around me all the time. I’ve started painting more. I’ve been working out a lot. I’ve started to really take pride in being strong. I love the album I made. I love that I moved to New York. So in terms of being happy, I’ve never been closer to that.

Appreciate what you have while you have it.

I’ve learned that you can’t predict [love] or plan for it. For someone like me who is obsessed with organization and planning, I love the idea that love is the one exception to that. Love is the one wild card.
