You learn lessons. A lot of them the hard way.

Your feelings are so important to write down, to capture, and to remember because today you're heartbroken, but tomorrow you'll be in love again.

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter. You are the best thing that's ever been mine.

You have to write 100 songs before you write the first good one.

You get to a point where it's like you can't really do anything right, and people will pick on you for whatever decisions you make, so I just try and take no notice and get on with my music.

You don't always get all the things in the bag that you selected from the delivery service, that is life. You get what you get, and you should be proud of what you've done with it.

You can't have a better tomorrow, if you keep thinking about yesterday.

You can write a book on how to ruin someone's perfect day.

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

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.

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.

When we're falling in love or out of it, that's when we most need a song that says how we feel. Yeah, I write a lot of songs about boys. And I'm very happy to do that.

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.
