I love my fans, I could not be able to do it without you and I would not be here.
You need to be happy with yourself or you'll never be able to be happy in a relationship.
You will never be able to find happiness if you stay attached to the wrong person and don't move on.
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.
When I'm in management meetings when we're deciding my future, those decisions are left up to me. I'm the one who has to go out and fulfill all these obligations, so I should be able to choose which ones I do or not. That's the part of my life where I feel most in control.
I think songwriting is the ultimate form of being able to make anything that happens in your life productive.
I don't need to edit names out of songs and I don't need to edit details out of my songs because I've always been able to be honest with my music. That's the one place where I'm never ever going to change how I do things.
When you walk out onstage in front of 65,000 people, it can bring you to tears.
I didn't always have 14,000 people wanting to hang out with me on a Saturday night.
For me, 'risky' is revealing what really happened in my life through music. Risky is writing confessional songs and telling the true story about a person with enough details so everyone knows who that person is.
I definitely have body issues, but everybody does. When you come to the realization that everybody does that - even the people that I consider flawless - then you can start to live with the way you are. I've read interviews with some of the most beautiful women who have insecurities. And you look at them and you're like, 'How do you have? Name one thing wrong with yourself,' and they could name a handful.
I don't think you should wait. I think you should speak now.
Vanity can apply to both insecurity and egotism. So I distance myself, because I feel everything.
Since I was old enough to understand what a songwriter/producer is, I've had a curiosity about how Max Martin creates what he creates. I wanted to see that happen. I wanted to be there. I wanted to learn from him.
