One of my big goals as a human being is to continue to write what's really happening to me, even if it's a tough pill to swallow for people around me... I do fear that if I ever were to have someone in my life who mattered, I would second-guess every one of my lyrics.

I write songs that are like diary entries. I have to do it in order to feel sane.

I always have to be writing.

I'm so lucky that I get to write my own music and write my own stories, so every single time I look down in the audience and I see somebody singing the words back to me, it makes it all worth it.

Got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane. But I got a blank space baby, and I'll write your name.

If something happens to me, you're going to hear about it. I only know how to write songs about my life.

If I'm gonna write songs about my exes, they can write songs about me. That's how it works.

I keep going back to love when I write songs because I can't figure it out.

Sometimes when relationships end, you write an e-mail and say everything you wish you said. Sometimes you don't push send.
