FEARLESS is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again....even though every time you've tried before you've lost.

For me, genres are a way for people to easily categorize music. But it doesn't have to define you. It doesn't have to limit you.

No matter how bad your day is, just be grateful this day is added to your life.

I don't think I'd ever make an album of just covers because I love writing my own music.

I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to love... There's no pattern to it, except that it happens to all of us, of course. I can't plan for it. I can't predict how it'll end up. Because love is unpredictable and it's frustrating and it's tragic and it's beautiful.

I do write nice songs about the guys who are nice to me! Eventually, I'm sure one of them will write a response - that's a pretty scary concept, actually! But I make sure I only write bad songs about the ones who deserve it.

I was from a small town, and nobody really expects you to leave, especially before you graduate. That doesn't happen.
