“Music was my ultimate ambition but I liked all of it. I wanted to discipline myself in dance and acting too and I’d done all three since I was 9-years-old. I could sing, but I didn’t become a great singer.”

When you’re around kids you can be a little kid yourself and pretend that life is magic and you don’t have to be one of those sweaty people going to work every day.

Every bad situation is a blues song waiting to happen.

Life is so much more rewarding if you strive for something, rather than take what’s given to you on a plate.

And as a writer, your self-worth is literally based on the last thing you wrote.

My justification is that most people my age spend a lot of time thinking about what they’re going to do for the next five or ten years. The time they spend thinking about their life, I just spend drinking.

I’m not trying to stay away from being a celebrity, I’m not saying, ‘I’m sooo not famous,’ I’m trying to continue being a musician in a time when everyone is very celebrity-led.

I don’t ever wanna drink again, I just, ooh I just need a friend.

I’m not very ambitious at all.

I was gutted to leave my boyfriend at home when I started my tour, but taking my pillow was like taking a little bit of him with me.

All the songs I write are about human dynamics, whether it’s with girlfriends, boyfriends, or family.

The more people see of me, the more they’ll realize that all I’m good for is making tunes.

I don’t need help because if I can’t help myself I can’t be helped.

People say my content’s mature, I don’t think it’s mature at all. I’m just a normal 20 year old. I’m opinionated.

I really started writing music to challenge myself, to see what I could write.

Music is the only thing that will give and give and give and not take.

I really thought I was on the way out. My husband Blake saved my life. Often I don’t know what I do, then the next day the memory returns. And then I am engulfed in shame.

Your life within God’s arms, Your dance within God’s arms, Is already Perfect!

You’ve never seen me dance, have you?

I like dancers. I have a thing for girls who dance.

I think my all time favourite song would be between ‘Slow Dancing in a Burning Room’ and ‘Dreaming with a Broken Heart’ by John Mayer.

Zidane is unique. The ball flows with him. He is more like a dancer than a football player.

She danced with nature for she knew she was never alone.

I do a first draft as passionately and as quickly as I can. I believe a story is valid only when it’s immediate and passionate, when it dances out of your subconscious. If you interfere in any way, you destroy it.

She danced in the moonlight knowing they shared the same song.
