But then you make eye contact with someone across the room and it clicks and you’re right there in love again.

I know what it's like to pine away for that summer romance you just can't get back.

That's the thing with love: It's going to be wrong until it's right.

You have celebrities who are pushed to the brink of a public meltdown, and so the public thinks that every person in the public eye has dirty secrets that they're keeping, or isn't what they seem, or is masking it and faking sincerity, faking authenticity, faking being surprised at award shows when you win a Grammy.

I've learned through writing that if something made me feel deeply or anything at all, it was worth it.

My mom and I have always been really close. She’s always been the friend that was always there.

Music is art, and art is important and rare. Important, rare things are valuable. Valuable things should be paid for. It’s my opinion that music should not be free, and my prediction is that individual artists and their labels will someday decide what an album’s price point is. I hope they don’t underestimate themselves or undervalue their art.
