“I don’t want people kissing my butt. If I had a bad show and I know it, don’t tell me I had a good show. I hate that. I guess because I’m 17, people think I don’t see stuff like that.”

I don’t really have time to sit down and write. But when I think of a melody, I call up my answering machine and sing it, so I won’t forget it.

I have come back  [to the music scene] so many times, people are just like, Is this another one? It’s kind of like a joke to me now.

Always be careful dealing with your cards when you have a queen of hearts in your mind.

I have to live my life. I have a family and I just think it’s absurd to let other people influence the way you live.

I’ve always followed my heart and pursued my dreams, and I imagine that people find it inspiring.

Being famous is just a job.

I’m a very private person. Sometimes I’m in denial that I’m really famous.

I just sing what I’m feeling at the time and hope my fans will like that and appreciate that.

I go out with friends, but I don’t have time to get in trouble.

I hear her bite is deadly! Be careful ladies and gentlemen.

Riding is my favorite thing to do.

It’s always nice to have those WTF moments that keep us aware.

I find it so funny that people find me interesting.

I think it’s important to set up that boundary of respect for your kids at a young age, so they will know, I better listen to Mommy.

One of my strongest gifts is that I’m pretty straightforward.

Every night, I have to read a book, so that my mind will stop thinking about things that I stress about.

Kisses are a better fate than wisdom.

One regret dear world, that I am determined not to have when I am lying on my deathbed is that I did not kiss you enough.

Because you aren’t afraid to kiss the dirt (and consequently dare to climb the sky)

For one kiss, darling, I swear everything I would give. Cause you’re a walking, talking reason to live.

When no one is looking, I swallow deserts and clouds and chew on mountains knowing they are sweet bones! When no one is looking and I want to kiss God, I just lift my own hand to my mouth.

We kiss like fire and wind drifting, into the woods of our unspoken sins.

My body is covered in scars where silver blades kisses my skin and pretended to be love.

I caught the happy virus last night When I was out singing beneath the stars. It is remarkably contagious – So kiss me.
