I don’t know how to have a normal relationship because I try to act normal and love from a normal place and live a normal life, but there is sort of an abnormal magnifying glass, like telescope lens, on everything that happens.
I don’t have a type. I don’t have a specific kind of human being. It’s just kind of an X-factor of sorts. Everybody I’ve ever dated has been a case-by-case situation.
I love dresses, and I’ve definitely thought about designing them someday. I just want to make sure that I wait until the time is perfect and I can do it right.
I once went on the most grueling radio tour. Living in hotel rooms, sleeping in the backs of rental cars as my mom drove to three different cities in one day.
I think that the idea of having a different approach to every single one of my albums is so exciting to me. I never want to make the same record twice. Why do it? What’s the point?
The things that make me cry are when the people I love have gone through pain and I’ve seen it.
Real life is a funny thing, you know. In real life saying the right thing at the right time is beyond crucial.
I want to write a song for someone who has just fallen in love or someone single and living their live.
I daydreamed that when you grow up there are more bullies and how wonderful that would be if it were true, but, it’s not.
Sometimes when relationships end, you write an e-mail and say everything you wish you said. Sometimes you don’t push send.
I really like Lady GaGa and everything she is for her fans.
I think when people make a record with a goal in mind – like taking it to the next level or making them seem more mature – that gets in the way of writing great songs.
I created my MySpace page in eighth grade, because that’s how all my friends talked to each other, so I made one, too. Then, all of a sudden, my friends started putting my songs on their profiles, and then their relatives, their friends in different states did.
Sometimes in life you have to be your own best friend.
We leave a piece of ourselves and our magic in a person that we fall in love with.
I just want to spend the rest of my life with someone who makes me smile, laugh, feel special, and supports me.
The business aspect is one of the most important things about having a music career, because every choice you make in a management meeting affects your life a year-and-a-half from now.
Songs for me are like a message in a bottle. You send them out to the world, and maybe the person who you feel that way about will hear about it someday.
Rebellion is what you make of it. When you’ve been on a tour bus for two months straight, and then you get in your car and drive wherever you want, that can feel rebellious.
Most of us fear reaching the end of our life regretting moments when we didn’t speak up, say I love you, or say I’m sorry.
