“I don’t understand, Why do I stress the man, When there’s so many bigger things at hand?”

I always said I never wanted to write about love, but then I went and did that anyway.

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.

There is nothing that making men rich and strong but that which they carry inside of them. True wealth is of the heart, not of the hand.

Life’s single lesson: that there is more accident to it than a man can ever admit to in a lifetime and stay sane.

Truth is the highest thing that man may keep.

For liberty hath a sharp and double edge, fit only to be handled by just and virtuous men; to bad and dissolute, it becomes a mischief unwieldy in their own hands.

Be more than man, or thou’rt less than an ant.

A woman sees love as intimacy, A Man, often, as infancy.

Mankind are earthen jugs with spirits in them.

I’ve known straight and gay people all my life. I can’t tell the difference. But I’d never marry a guy I didn’t like.
