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?
I’ve learned that you can’t predict [love] or plan for it. For someone like me who is obsessed with organization and planning, I love the idea that love is the one exception to that. Love is the one wild card.
You can spend so much time wanting someone and they can have absolutely no idea.
I've come to a wonderful realization that is fascinating: I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to love. No one does!
My career always involved being the person in charge of what I was portraying to people. "I never wanted to be an image of something I didn't believe in, an image that somebody else had put together. The idea of that just really scared me, more than the idea of failing.
I often get ideas for songs on the tour bus at odd times. Like at 6am when no one is around, I'd just write.
I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to love... There's no pattern to it, except that it happens to all of us, of course. I can't plan for it. I can't predict how it'll end up. Because love is unpredictable and it's frustrating and it's tragic and it's beautiful...
I fought the idea of having security for a very long time, because I really value normalcy. I really do. I like to be able to take a drive by myself.
The most miraculous process is watching a song go from a tiny idea in the middle of the night to something that 55,000 people are singing back to you.
Factoring in millions of people when I'm writing a song is not a good idea. I don't ever do it.
People say that about me, that I apparently buy houses near every boy I like - that's a thing that I apparently do. If I like you I will apparently buy up the real-estate market just to freak you out so you leave me.
I don't think you should wait. I think you should speak now.
Vanity can apply to both insecurity and egotism. So I distance myself, because I feel everything.
I think I am smart unless I am really, really in love, and then I am ridiculously stupid.
