Blossoming and unfolding are basically the same thing, but blossoming is more romantic.

I'm always interested in hearing how other people read and react to my songs. I hadn't thought of it in just that way. One of the things I love about doing things that are creative is that I feel like it's my right as an artist not to be affected by the reactions of those people that are going to hear my songs. But I also feel like it's the right of the people hearing them to have their own interpretations of what these songs mean. Sometimes people will see things that I don't see.

Love is individual to each person and I don’t think you can define it before experiencing it because it isn’t going to be the same for everybody.

I’m just being myself. There is not an ounce of me that believes any of that crap that they say. We can’t be feminine and be feminists and be successful? I want to be a f-king feminist and wear a f-king Peter Pan collar. So f-king what?

If 'New Girl' had been a movie, I don't know whether I would have been given the opportunity to do it.

I'm not playing a comedy. I want to be playing the truth of the moment, and then have the comedy come out.

I'll have these internal moments where I'm empathizing with someone else or feeling something myself, but I'm like, "How can I see the best in this situation?" Sometimes those are the moments where you can have the most clarity.
