“I once believed love would be burning red.”

Your crush is coming, act natural.

I love writing songs because I love preserving memories, like putting a picture frame around a feeling you once had.

My favorite thing in the world is telling stories, and most of what I do is telling stories through music.

Growing up is scary because it happens without you knowing it.

And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they’ll never stop doing, I think it’s fearless to stop believing them. It’s fearless to say “you’re not sorry” and walk away.

When you fight to honor racists, you show black Tennesseans and all of their allies where you stand, and you continue this cycle of hurt. You can’t change history, but you can change this.

Any relationship I ever have will have to be hidden, or else it will be destroyed before it even starts.

Nothing ruins your day more than getting a bad review.

We all dream about love, want to be in love, and have been hurt by love.

When you’re pretttttty sure that if you were a man, you’d be the man.

Fixing your heartbreak by getting into another relationship is not the way to live your life – you need to live it on your terms for a while.

Your success, your life, your happiness. Don’t let mean people bring that down.

Unique and different is the new generation of beautiful. You dont have to be like everybody else. In fact I don’t think you should.

Everybody has that point in their life where you hit a crossroads and you’ve had a bunch of bad days and there’s different ways you can deal with it and the way I dealt with it was I just turned completely to music.

I’d be a fearless leader. I’d be an alpha type.

Everybody has that point in their life where you hit a crossroads and you’ve had a bunch of bad days and there’s different ways you can deal with it and the way I dealt with it was I just turned completely to music.

I believe in a religion that believes in freedom. Any time I have to accept a religion that won’t let me fight a battle for my people, I say to hell with that religion.

I believe in the person I want to become.

I believe that you see something that you want to get done, you cannot give up, and you cannot give in.

The care of God for us is a great thing, if a man believe it at heart: it plucks the burden of sorrow from him.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice.

I am still learning – how to take joy in all the people I am, how to use all my selves in the service of what I believe, how to accept when I fail and rejoice when I succeed.

I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you.

I believe in a religion that believes in freedom. Any time I have to accept a religion that won’t let me fight a battle for my people, I say to hell with that religion.
