I feel like my music has become a lot of things. It’s hard to label the evolution, but I like there to be an evolution. I just like to paint with all different kinds of colors.
My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again.
I’m pretty pale. In high school I was insecure and thought it’d be cool to go to a tanning bed. Now I just let it look the way it looks.
Seems like the only one who doesn’t see your beauty is the face in the mirror looking back at you.
I feel like my dating life has become a national pastime, and Im not comfortable providing that entertainment anymore.
I think people inspire me the most. If I meet a person who is incredibly complex, and all of a sudden, I start thinking in rhymes, that person could be a muse.
I don’t have big security guards. I don’t have an entourage.
I think I have a big fear of things spiraling out of control. Out of control and dangerous and reckless and thoughtless scares me, because people get hurt.
I’m a crumbled up piece of paper lying here, ’cause I remember it all too well.
I definitely know that there’s somebody looking out for me, because I could never do this alone.
If you have something about yourself that’s different, you’re lucky. It’s not a curse.
I put out one album one week, and I’m already worried about the next one. I feel a lot of emotion throughout the course of a day. But not to the point where you need to be worried about me.
For me, writing a song, I sit down and the process doesn’t really involve me thinking about the demo-graphic of people I’m trying to hit or who I want to be able to relate to the song or what genre of music it falls under.
The longer you’re with the wrong person, you could be completely overlooking the chance to meet the right person.
I don’t know if I could do this with the same energy, and in the same way – all the costume changes and glitter and hair and makeup – all the time. When I’m in my 50s, I kind of think I’ll want to be in a garden.
I’m not opposed to falling in love.
Sophistication isn’t what you wear and who you know.
If I could go back I wouldn’t change anything. If I was popular I would have never left my bubble. I wouldn’t have ever tired to do anything different. I would have never become happy.
Everybody has a list of 100 things they would like to change about themselves. But it’s all about focusing on the good things.
We need music the most when we’re feeling things really intensely. I think the most intense times in your life are when you’re either falling in love or losing it.
