Sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know, or pushing people down to get you where you want to go... soon your gonna find stealing other people toys on the playground won't make you many friends.

So don't you worry your pretty little mind because people throw rocks at things that shine. [Ours]

I'd like to be my old self again but I'm still trying to find it

I heard that when Christina Aguilera went back to her prom, people, like, booed her. I can't imagine going through that. If you know that's going to happen, why put yourself in that situation? I'd rather play for 20,000 screaming people, you know?

I don't really think you can ever stop making new friends or learning about as many new things as possible.

In school if you're different that's uncool. But I try to maintain confidence in who I am...because...you know...I don't really want to change it.

I'm a songwriter. Everything affects me.
