“Time will heal everything.”

Honestly I’m not a huge TV person. The only show that I’ve seen every episode of is ‘Pretty Little Liars.’ It’s my favorite show.

Every Christmas Eve, the elves will come and give us a new pair of pajamas.

You can cry for a little bit, eat some ice cream, but I think, after that, it’s like, get up, listen to some powerful music and do something that makes you happy, be productive.

What you wear onstage is a reflection of your artistry.

You need to experience life to be able to write about friendships, relationships, and heartbreak.

For musicians, Musikfest is the most cool event.

I listen to music to when I’m feeling a certain way or to make myself feel a certain way. So why not make my own music inspired by true emotions?

Singing is about telling a story. When you are onstage, you get to be your own self… When acting, you’re someone else.

It’s hard to see someone with a ‘perfect’ body and be like, ‘Why can’t I be like her?’ But that person was born to be who she is, and you’re born to be who you are.

I’m not quite sure how I would do babysitting.

I live every day, day to day. I will go wherever life takes me. I’m not questioning it.

Whenever I’m out and I hear something, I’m writing. It’s the process of writing it down and then just always creating wherever you go. I never stop creating.

I sing a lot, so if I have lipstick, it gets all over the microphone, so I rarely wear lipstick.

I’ve always just tried to be myself, which is such a weird thing to say.

You would see me cover every Adele, Christina Aguilera, Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood. Then I’d have to do ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ and ‘Crazy Train,’ and it was a really weird combination.

Truly, with a sitcom and the rhythms of comedy… music is so helpful in that area of life.

You see how this House of Commons has begun to verify all the ill prophecies that were made of it – low, vulgar, meddling with everything, assuming universal competency, and flattering every base passion – and sneering at everything noble refined and truly national.

Being gritty doesn’t mean not showing pain or pretending everything is O.K. In fact, when you look at healthy and successful and giving people, they are extraordinarily meta-cognitive. They’re able to say things like, ‘Dude, I totally lost my temper this morning.’ That ability to reflect on yourself is signature to grit.

Everything good and bad comes from your own mind. To find something beyond the mind is impossible.

The more I paint the more I like everything.

But when modern absolutism arose, it laid claim to everything on behalf of the sovereign power….

Everything sacred, nothing sacred.

What do drawings mean to me? I really don’t know. The activity absorbs me. I forget everything else in a way that I don’t think happens with any other activity.

Writing for me is a dragnet that carries everything away with it: expressions and figures of speech, postures, feelings, thoughts, troubles. In short, the lives of others.
