"I’m intimidated by the fear of being average."
“Everything about this business is exciting to me.”
“I write blatantly obvious songs with blatantly obvious details, and then I’m like NO! When they find out, I dunno what’s wrong with me. I have issues.”
“I hope that I stand for the girl who is 15 and is in school and doesn’t fit in. Maybe she can find some sort of comfort by going home and putting on my CD.”
