You can spend so much time wanting someone and they can have absolutely no idea.

Every day was a struggle. Forget making plans for life - we were just trying to make it to next week.

The only way I hear gossip is if it's big enough and loud enough for my friends to bring it up to me. Or if it's, like, a big untrue ordeal from my publicist - and she hates making that phone call!

When I was younger we had a grape arbor, and my mom would go out and pick grapes and make grape jam in the sink - boil it, put it in jars, and give it away as gifts.

Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything?

Spending a lot of time alone, gave me a lot of time to think. A lot of time to think gave me the time to write songs.

For everything I do, I think about a 6-year-old girl and her mom that I saw at my concert last night. I think about what those two individuals would think if I were at a club last night. I never want to be arrested, and I never want to get a DUI, those are my moral values.
