I’ve never been shy or secretive with the fact that if you walk into my life, you may be walking onto a record.

Throughout all of the changes that have happened in my life, one of the priorities I've had is to never change the way I write songs and the reasons I write songs. I write songs to help me understand life a little more. I write songs to get past things that cause me pain. And I write songs because sometimes life makes more sense to me when it's being sung in a chorus, and when I can write it in a verse.

The past is the past. Don't let it kill you.

If you are lucky enough to find something that you love, and you have a shot at being good at it, don't stop, don't put it down.

I don't like to feel like I'm some fragile package that has to be shipped by high-priority mail and handled with white gloves.

Be friends first when you're dating. If it turns into something more, that's awesome, and if not you have another friend.

Fearless is knowing that someday things will change.
