I would like to do a duet with Taylor Hanson, because I have loved Hanson since I was 8.
I think who you are in school really sticks with you.
I think I have to trust that you end up with the person you're supposed to end up with, and that everything in between is there to teach you stuff.
I didn't know what a stockbroker was when I was eight, but I would just tell everybody that's what I was going to be.
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.
I have been singing randomly, obsessively, obnoxiously for as long as I can remember.
I don't think there's an option for me to fall in love slowly or at medium speed. I either do, or I don't.
I've learned when to get out. I've never wasted too much time with the wrong person, and that's one thing I'm proud of. The longer you're with the wrong person, you could be completely overlooking or not having the chance to meet the right person. And if it doesn't feel right, it isn't right. How do you know if something feels right? I think the great defining factor for me is whether I want more. When they drive away, do I wish they would turn around at the end of the street and come back? Or am I fine that they're going home?
I don't ever feel like the cool kid at the party, ever. It's like, 'Smile and be nice to everybody, because you were not invited to be here.'
Sometimes in love it just gets to the point where I have to give up. I have to give up trying and I have to give up believing because I know things won't change. To me, giving up isn't being weak. Giving up is being strong enough to let go.
There's an old poem by Neruda that I've always been captivated by, and one of the lines in it has stuck with me ever since the first time I read it. It says "love is so short, forgetting is so long." It's a line I've related to in my saddest moments, when I needed to know someone else had felt that exact same way. And when we're trying to move on, the moments we always go back to aren't the mundane ones. They are the moments you saw sparks that weren't really there, felt stars aligning without having any proof, saw your future before it happened, and then saw it slip away without any warning.
I don't believe in endorsing a product that you don't want to endorse.
I don't like to feel like I'm some fragile package that has to be shipped by high-priority mail and handled with white gloves.
