I think I have to trust that you end up with the person you're supposed to end up with, and that everything in between is there to teach you stuff.

You will always be criticized and teased and bullied for things that make you different, but usually those things will be what set you apart. The things that set you apart from the pack, the things that you once thought were your weaknesses will someday become your strengths.

All of my songs are autobiographical.

I'm not that complicated. My complications come out in my songs. All you need to do to be my friend is like me.

I have to believe in fairy tales and I have to believe in love.

Fans are my favorite thing in the world. I've never been the type of artist who has that line drawn between their friends and their fans. The line's always been really blurred for me. I'll hang out with them after the show. I'll hang out with them before the show. If I see them in the mall, I'll stand there and talk to them for 10 minutes.

Everytime you smile, I smile And everytime you shine, I'll shine for you.
