I'm not even going to be able to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 25 seconds when I was 18.
I only sing in my church choir. Except the other night, I stole the show at karaoke night.
People don't take you seriously if you scream, if you raise your voice, especially when you're a 19-year-old girl.
The one place where I'm allowed to rebel, and the one place where I'm allowed to not worry about censoring myself is my music.
If I looked at every other girl in the entertainment industry as competition, my life would be really lonely. I wouldn't have some of the coolest friends that I'm so glad I've gotten to know.
I love writing thank-you notes. There's something very nostalgic to me about the feel of a card and putting pen to paper. How many times in our lives are we required to put pen to paper anymore?
I don't think I'd be a party girl [even if I were] in college. When I was in high school, I remember seeing girls crying in the bathroom every Monday about what they did at a party that weekend. I never wanted to be that girl crying in the bathroom. But there are certain things that I would like to do but can't. Sometimes I don't get invited to things because my friends know it's going to be a hassle to take me.
I like things you can touch and things you can keep, because every bit of communication we have is ephemeral in nature. You can just delete an e-mail and it's like it was never there.
I don't have any interest in going out to clubs. I love people, and I love socializing, I just don't have any interest in being drunk.
The only thing I can't control is the spin in the press. And so if I know I can't control that, I have to let it go.
I've never been fascinated by the party lifestyle. Penciling in a night to get wasted is not something I want to do.
I like organizing things. I like organizing my closets, so that I know where everything is. And and I used to color code it.
I have always felt a little strange about it being so unique that I'm not a train wreck. Like, this weird fluke that I'm not - partying all the time.
I've stopped reading the comments below news articles and on gossip blogs because those are the ones that'll ruin your day in a second.
