Be friends first when you’re dating. If it turns into something more, that’s awesome, and if not you have another friend.
I think the worst part about a breakup sometimes, if one could choose a worst part, would possibly be if you get out of a relationship, and you don’t recognize yourself because you changed a lot about you.
Try things. Laugh a lot. Mess up. Apologize. Hug people. Take chances. Trust yourself. Lose things. Get over it.
Every time i try and wink at someone, I mess it up and end up scaring people.
You know, Katie Couric is one of my favorite people.
I think the words you stop yourself from saying are the ones that will haunt you the longest.
You can’t generalise about an entire country, but I like the energy of British men.
I could make the bad guys good for a weekend.
You can’t be in love with a Google search.
Listening to my songs is like reading my diary.
When I hear that high-pitched sound of all those people screaming together, it’s like, I want to get on stage right now. It’s the most amazing feeling.
I never get tired of signing autographs ’cause I used to do it so much in class dreaming about the day that it might mean something to somebody.
I’m not even going to be able to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 25 seconds when I was 18.
I write songs about what I go through.
When you strategize a relationship too much, like, “We’re not gonna be public about it, and we’re gonna say this in interviews,” when you think it all out, I think that complicates the relationship and I think that’s unfair for the relationship.
When I’m thinking about going on a date with some guy or considering liking him, it really doesn’t matter what they do or how that affects my career.
The one place where I’m allowed to rebel, and the one place where I’m allowed to not worry about censoring myself is my music.
I don’t need to edit names out of songs and I don’t need to edit details out of my songs because I’ve always been able to be honest with my music. That’s the one place where I’m never ever going to change how I do things.
If I looked at every other girl in the entertainment industry as competition, my life would be really lonely. I wouldn’t have some of the coolest friends that I’m so glad I’ve gotten to know.
People don’t take you seriously if you scream, if you raise your voice, especially when you’re a 19-year-old girl.
