The way I feel about music is that there is no right and wrong. Only true and false.

• The age thing really bugs me. Do people have more of a right to not like what I say because I'm 19?
• When you're surrounded by all these people, it can be even lonelier than when you're by yourself. You can be in a huge crowd, but if you don't feel like you can trust anybody or talk to anybody, you feel like you're really alone.
• I got a lot of problems, but I'm really good at intuiting what I need to do to be happy with whatever I create. I know when to stop myself, I know when to start, I know when to leave something alone. I guess I just kind of indulge that completely, and so I just take my time.
• Because for whatever reason, even though I want to stay home all the time and be left alone, I want to tell the world who I am now.
• For me, the best times are always going to be the most intense, the ones with the highest highs and the lowest lows.
• There aren't many poster children for cool angst. Everybody thinks it's cool if you're the bad girl.
• But I honestly don't read critics. My dad reads absolutely everything ever written about me. He calls me up to read ecstatic reviews, but I always insist that I can't hear them. If you give value to the good reviews, you have to give value to the criticism.
• You can live your whole life in your brain and not experience what's around you. You go crazy that way.
• You know, I've always thought that it would be really funny if somebody made a romantic comedy where absolutely everything went well from beginning to end.
• Nothing that you do will ever feel good if you let people convince you that you have no choice.
