On her love life: “Things change so quickly. I have no idea who’s going to be a recurring character and who’s just a guest star for one episode. Love is fascinating. Wishing for it, pining for it, and the anger that comes when you lose it. I used to think that I could figure out some pattern to love, like if you don’t text a guy back for a half hour, he’ll like you more. But there is no pattern. Absolutely nothing is predictable in love or in life.”
On her own fame: “I don’t like to feel like I’m some fragile package that has to be shipped by high-priority mail and handled with white gloves.”
On growing up: "I still have mixed feelings about what growing up is — this thing that happens to everyone, so I've heard."
On the pain of being a teenage outsider: "If I was going through a really tough day at school and I didn't have anyone to talk to or sit with at lunch, I would say to myself over and over again, 'It's okay because I can write a song about this later.'"
On her fear that listeners won't connect with her songs: "That's definitely a nightmare that I wake up from sometimes. Saying things in songs that people will care about is my biggest hope, and saying things that nobody will care about is my biggest fear."
