I've always written songs the same way. You learn different tricks - you learn craft, you learn structure, all that - as you go.
I'd like to think you don't stop being creative once you get happy.
One of my big fears is people saying my songs are all starting to sound the same.
I felt like my favorite writers have almost musical hooks in their work, whether it's poetry or a hook at the end of a chapter that makes you want to read the next one. And I think that my favorite writers definitely have something musical about what they do, in saying something so relatable and universal and so simple.
I've been careful in love. I've been careless in love. And I've had adventures I wouldn't trade for anything.
In this business you have to develop a thick skin, but I'm always going to feel everything. It's my nature.
If you're yelling you're the one who's lost control of the conversation.

I love hugging people. I still hug everybody in my meet-and-greet lines.
I have this fear of falling in front of large groups of people. That's why I tend not to wear heels.
