Love is one of those things that should be so simple. You don't need to think about it and over analyze it when it's good.

Where is the video of Kanye [West] telling me he was going to call me 'that b***h' in his song? It doesn't exist because it never happened. You don't get to control someone's emotional response to being called 'that b***h' in front of the entire world.

I just want to spend the rest of my life with someone who makes me smile, laugh, feel special, and supports me.

Love is the one wild card.

I'm just glad we live in a world where girls can play soldiers.

Everything that happens to me gets put into a song. For some reason, I'm really comfortable talking about my personal life in songs. There, I don't hold back: names, dates, times, expressions on people's faces, exactly where we were and how it felt, what I wish I would have said to them in the moment. So I'm not only excited about sharing the songs with fans; I'm also pretty interested to hear the response from the guys I've written about on the record.

I think songwriting is the ultimate form of being able to make anything that happens in your life productive.
