I've always tried to get around writing love songs, I guess because I've always had a hard time saying, 'I love you.'

I try to make everything I write a little bit different. Those songs that go, 'I love you so much and you love me,' they're boring. If I'm going to write a love song, it's going to be a little bit tortuous.

Writing songs has a therapeutic effect, and it either kills off love or wins the heart of the lover.

I have more of a desire to write songs about being an independent woman than being in love, songs about getting up and moving on even if I have a broken heart.

I have been writing songs since I was 9 years old, so writing has and always will be my first love and passion.

A lot of the music I write is about love. Sometimes I won't understand how I am feeling until I write a song about it.

I'm not an extremely prolific writer. I don't write songs all the time.

Love stories are probably all I've ever been able to write or want to write.
