I think I've developed, as many people do, this sense of, 'Don't say the wrong thing, or else people will point at you and laugh.'

I think love is one of those things that it's only really bad because it was once good. You can't miss something that was never amazing. So, what I've learned is that even if it ends badly, it's worth it if it made you feel something, if it taught you something.

I've got my Grammys on top of my piano and I look at them when I play.

The most miraculous process is watching a song go from a tiny idea in the middle of the night to something that 55,000 people are singing back to you.

My confidence is easy to shake. I am very well aware of all of my flaws. I am aware of all the insecurities that I have.

Factoring in millions of people when I'm writing a song is not a good idea. I don't ever do it.

When I'm getting to know someone, I look for someone who has passions that I respect, like his career. Someone who loves what he does is really attractive.
