“You can be the happiest you can be in a relationship but can have an urge to be with someone else. I know a lot of people that it has happened to.”

I just sing and write songs and wear what I want. It’s quite a good job really. If I wanted to I suppose I could become more of a fashion icon, but singing is my thing.

I still love the skinny jeans thing and I wear my favorite leather jacket constantly. I like being kind of a rock star. I love that I can feel comfortable in a small dress or I can feel comfortable wearing a baggy T-shirt.

I’ve changed the way I look a bit but not intentionally. I’ve cut my hair. I’ve got a bit of pink in it and lately I’ve become a bit monochrome, wearing a lot of black and white.

I guess I started running when I was about 18 and… I feel like it assists my creativity a bit because it completely just flushes everything out.

I’d just like to think that there’s some kind of underworld where whoever’s been lost at sea is there… I dunno, there probably isn’t, but I’d like to believe there is.

Even if a relationship doesn’t work out, you can always take something positive from something negative. You never know what’s around the corner.

One of the most powerful feelings in the world is after a really, really long run.

Apparently I’m introspective, levelheaded, but at the same time, absolutely insane.

It took time to really build myself a reputation as a good live performer, a musician and an artist.

I definitely write about a lot of dreamy, surreal stuff. I do end up going to a surreal world with my music, but I also like the idea of there being really real stuff as well.

Now, if some panic hits me, you have to sort of be friends with your body, it’s like your body will work against you.

I would never create an image for myself; I’m not that clever.

I believe in the moment of things and fate and things happening for a reason, so I write things down and I trust it.

I wrote a lot of poetry that was based on stories of the sea and I was really inspired by that.

The very first song I wrote was about a boy that I was obsessed with.

My favourite people to follow on Twitter are… my fans. They make me laugh so much and keep me smiling.

A word does not frighten the man who, in acting feels no fear.

Each woman is made to feel it is her own cross to bear if she can’t be the perfect clone of the male superman and the perfect clone of the feminine mystique.

If you’re feeling stressed or anxious and you don’t know why, ask yourself: What little thing led me here? Recently, I canceled on a friend because I was tired. I went to bed feeling stressed out, and I realized, I feel bad because I canceled.

Once I realized that the only thing I can actually control in this life is my own mind, how I choose to react, feel, and perceive, I felt immediately liberated.

Do not feel safe. The poet remembers. You can kill one, but another is born. The words are written down, the deed, the date.

Oh, the secret life of man and woman–dreaming how much better we would be than we are if we were somebody else or even ourselves, and feeling that our estate has been unexploited to its fullest.

Don’t you think I was made for you? I feel like you had me ordered – and I was delivered to you – to be worn. I want you to wear me, like a watch-charm or a buttonhole bouquet.

I definitely think that females have a harder time. It’s a lot harder to be a girl because you’re always in your head. I’ve heard my brother go and take it out on the football as he says. Whereas girls would rather sit down and over think things.
