I had the most magical childhood, running free and going anywhere I wanted to in my head.
From Taylor Swift
I think when people make a record with a goal in mind - like taking it to the next level or making them seem more mature - that gets in the way of writing great songs.
I became a people-watcher when I lost all my friends when I was 12.
I've always strived to be successful, not famous.
When I listen to a song, I don't say, 'Oh my gosh, that vocal line she sang was the best thing I ever heard.' I'm thinking, 'That lyric just moves me. That lyric just said what I feel better than I could say it myself.'
It's true that I've never had a burning desire to rebel against my parents.
I don't have big security guards. I don't have an entourage.
If you're trying too hard to be the girl next door, you're not going to be.
I have an obsession with knowing the answers to things. When I don't know what happened, it just bothers me, gets under my skin, and I need to write about it.
Every single one of the guys that I've written songs about has been tracked down on MySpace by my fans.
