“I decided at 15 that I didn't want to be one of those artists that gets up and sings love songs they don't mean. I decided that I was going to be me to the fullest extent, that my songs were going to reflect relationships I've had, things I've been through, and even the stuff I'm embarrassed about.”

“I've always felt like the underdog, and I'm comfortable with that label.”

“I love the shows that are in dingy little dark clubs, smoky, no production whatsoever.”

“There's something about breaking up with someone - you just look hotter than you ever did before.”

“Long-term relationships are an everyday choice. It's harder to be in a marriage than it is to bounce from one relationship to the next.”

“There are 50 new tabloids every year, and I'm in them, and I read them, and I do stupid things.”

“I always wrote poetry as a teenager and it was always so dark, but it made me feel good to get it out.”

“Sometimes I wish I was poetic and subtle. I write very bold and blunt and tell it like it is.”

“I like feeling strong. It keeps my mental floor higher.”

“I read all the time. I love it. My fantasy would be to be locked into a library. I'd be very, very happy.”

“I don't like working with hitmakers. I don't want hits! You're not even allowed to say that word around me.”

“My dad raised me with some good advice: 'Always tell the truth. Always shoot from the hip. You might not have many friends, but you'll never have enemies, because people will always know where you're coming from.'”

“Once you figure out what respect tastes like, it tastes better than attention. But you have to get there.”

“Beautiful has never been my goal.”

“I feel like I 'get' boys. I've always been a boy's girl. Boys are easy; they just break stuff.”

“I know my strong points: I work hard, I have talent, I'm funny, and I'm a good person.”
