"Think when it's all over it just comes back in flashes, you know? It's like a kaleidoscope of memories; it just all comes back. But he never does. I think part of me knew the second I saw him that this would happen. It's not really anything he said, or anything he did - it was the feeling that came along with it. Crazy thing is, I don't know if I'm ever going to feel that way again. But I don't know if I should. I knew his world moved too fast and burned too bright, but I just thought, 'How can the devil be pulling you toward someone who looks so much like an angel when he smiles at you?' Maybe he knew that when he saw me. I guess I just lost my balance. I think that the worst part of it all wasn't losing him. It was losing me."

"I get really restless when I haven't worked for a day and a half. I have a recurring dream that people are lined up next to my bed, waiting for autographs and taking pictures of me!"

"When you are missing someone, time seems to move slower, and when I'm falling in love with someone, time seems to be moving faster."

"At some point you have to forget about grudges because they only hurt."

"I think about food literally all day every day. It's a thing."

"And I'm dying to know, is it killing you like it's killing me? And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now."

"I don't talk about my personal life so they [the media] had to make one up for me."

"I think fearless is having fears but jumping anyway."

"I am an over-achiever, and I want to be known for the good things in my life."

"I spend a lot of time balancing between faith and disbelief."

"Happiness and confidence are the prettiest things you can wear."

"Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did."

"It can be heartbreaking when you find out that your fairytale image of the world doesn't match the reality."

"If you cry over a guy, then your friends can't date him. It can't even be considered."

"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 wish all teenagers can filter through songs instead of turning to drugs and alcohol."

"My parents taught me never to judge others based on whom they love, what color their skin is, or their religion. Why make life miserable for someone when you could be using your energy for good? We don't need to share the same opinions as others, but we need to be respectful. When you hear people making hateful comments, stand up to them. Point out what a waste it is to hate, and you could open their eyes."

"Be that strong girl that everyone knew would make it through the worst, be that fearless girl, the one who would dare to do anything, be that independent girl who didn't need a man; be that girl who never backed down."

"And you come away with a great little story of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you."

"You can make a board for all the goals you want in your life with the pictures on it, and that's great, daydreaming is wonderful, but you can never plan your future."

"I can imagine it's hard to make a relationship last. I wouldn't know."

"We were both young when I first saw you. I close my eyes and the flashback starts. I'm standin' there on a balcony in summer air."

"When all you wanted was to be wanted, you wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now."

"I'm only up when you're not downDon't wanna fly if you're still on the ground."

"If they don't like you for being yourself, be yourself even more."

"Nothing safe is worth the drive."

"I think for me, beauty is sincerity. I think that there are so many different ways that someone can be beautiful. You know, someone so funny that it makes them beautiful no matter how they look, because they're sincere in it. Or somebody who's really emotional, and moody and thoughtful and stoic, but that makes them beautiful because that's sincerely who they are."

"For me, when I picture the person I want to end up with, I don't think about what their career is, or what they look like. I picture the feeling I get when I'm with them."

"I can't deal with someone wanting to take a relationship backward or needing space or cheating on you. It's a conscious thing it's a common-sense thing."

"Maybe you lost someone you never expected you would lose. Maybe you lost yourself. That's even worse. When you have bad days that just won't let up, I just hope that you will look in the mirror and remind yourself of what you are and what you are not.You are not your mistakes.You are not damaged goods or money from your failed explorations.You are not the opinion of someone who doesn't know you.You are a product of the lessons that you've learned.You are wiser because you went through something terrible.And you are the person who survived a bunch of rainstorms and kept walking. I now believe that pain makes you stronger. And now I believe that walking through a lot of rainstorms gets you clean."

"I never want to change so much that people can't recognize me."

"Just because as human beings, what we can't have is what we reply in our head over and over again before we go to sleep."

"Being FEARLESS isn't being 100% Not FEARFUL, it's being terrified but you jump anyway..."

"You can walk away and say "We don't need this." but something in your eyes says "We can beat this."

"Just be yourself, there is no one better."

"If someone has a really great boyfriend or career, I think, it's cool that happens."

"Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything?"

"I love making new friends and I respect people for a lot of different reasons."

"When I was younger we had a grape arbor, and my mom would go out and pick grapes and make grape jam in the sink - boil it, put it in jars, and give it away as gifts."

"I have this really high priority on happiness and finding something to be happy about."

"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 wish [that when] I was 12 years old I'd been able to watch a video of my favourite actress explaining in such an intellectual, beautiful, poignant way the definition of feminism - I would have understood it and then earlier on in my life I would have proudly claimed that I was a feminist, because I would have understood what the word means."

"All you need to do to be my friend is like me."

"I love it when people say things to me in public and want to meet me, because I want to meet them! Early on, my manager told me, 'If you want to sell 500,000 records, then go out there and meet 500,000 people.'"

"A lot of people ask me, 'How did you have the courage to walk up to record labels when you were 12 or 13 and jump right into the music industry?' It's because I knew I could never feel the kind of rejection that I felt in middle school. Because in the music industry, if they're gonna say no to you, at least they're gonna be polite about it."

"Poetry and lyrics are very similar. Making words bounce off a page."

"And for once a band of thieves in ripped up jeans got to rule the world."

"People haven't always been there for me but music always has."

"When I was a little girl I used to read fairy tales. In fairy tales you meet Prince Charming and he's everything you ever wanted. In fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. The bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is. Then you grow up and you realize that Prince Charming is not as easy to find as you thought. You realize the bad guy is not wearing a black cape and he's not easy to spot; he's really funny, and he makes you laugh, and he has perfect hair."

"But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have ot believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after. That's why I write these songs. Because I think love is FEARLESS."
