“I think that you can love people without it being the great love.”

I love writing songs because I love preserving memories, like putting a picture frame around a feeling you once had.

My favorite thing in the world is telling stories, and most of what I do is telling stories through music.

Growing up is scary because it happens without you knowing it.

And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they’ll never stop doing, I think it’s fearless to stop believing them. It’s fearless to say “you’re not sorry” and walk away.

When you fight to honor racists, you show black Tennesseans and all of their allies where you stand, and you continue this cycle of hurt. You can’t change history, but you can change this.

Any relationship I ever have will have to be hidden, or else it will be destroyed before it even starts.

Nothing ruins your day more than getting a bad review.

We all dream about love, want to be in love, and have been hurt by love.

When you’re pretttttty sure that if you were a man, you’d be the man.

Fixing your heartbreak by getting into another relationship is not the way to live your life – you need to live it on your terms for a while.

Your success, your life, your happiness. Don’t let mean people bring that down.

Unique and different is the new generation of beautiful. You dont have to be like everybody else. In fact I don’t think you should.

Everybody has that point in their life where you hit a crossroads and you’ve had a bunch of bad days and there’s different ways you can deal with it and the way I dealt with it was I just turned completely to music.

I’d be a fearless leader. I’d be an alpha type.

The mind is the greatest bomb.

Great talent has always a little madness mixed up with it.

The great sickness and the grievous evil consist in this: that all the things that man finds written in books, he presumes to think of as true-and all the more so if the books are old.

When one is too old for love, one finds great comfort in good dinners.

To make a great dream come true, the first requirement is a great capacity to dream; the second is persistence.

One of the great undiscovered joys of life comes from doing everything one attempts to the best of one’s ability. The smallest task, well done, becomes a miracle of achievement.

And so long as I can laugh, never will I be poor. This then, is one of nature’s greatest gifts and I will waste it no more.

I will greet this day with love in my heart. For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscles can split a shield and even destroy life itself but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of man.
