I’ve learned that you can’t predict [love] or plan for it. For someone like me who is obsessed with organization and planning, I love the idea that love is the one exception to that. Love is the one wild card.
You can spend so much time wanting someone and they can have absolutely no idea.
I often get ideas for songs on the tour bus at odd times. Like at 6am when no one is around, I'd just write.
I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to love... There's no pattern to it, except that it happens to all of us, of course. I can't plan for it. I can't predict how it'll end up. Because love is unpredictable and it's frustrating and it's tragic and it's beautiful...
The most miraculous process is watching a song go from a tiny idea in the middle of the night to something that 55,000 people are singing back to you.
Factoring in millions of people when I'm writing a song is not a good idea. I don't ever do it.
I've come to a wonderful realization that is fascinating: I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to love. No one does!
I think that the idea of having a different approach to every single one of my albums is so exciting to me. I never want to make the same record twice. Why do it? What's the point?
I fought the idea of having security for a very long time, because I really value normalcy. I really do. I like to be able to take a drive by myself.
My career always involved being the person in charge of what I was portraying to people. "I never wanted to be an image of something I didn't believe in, an image that somebody else had put together. The idea of that just really scared me, more than the idea of failing.
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.
