Falling in love is awesome, but I'm never drawn to happy songs per se, so whenever you sit down to write a heartbreak song and you're happily in love, it's like, 'OK, now I have to go back to a sad place to get something good.'

The strongest feelings I've had in my life are when love has gone right and when love has gone bad. And I think strong feelings make good songs.

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 feel the emotion that life conjures up and the songs I write get me closer to my feelings and realising who I am. It's a natural process.

I really feel every word to every song a lot more than I have in the past.

The best feeling I ever get is when I finish a song, and it exists, and it didn't exist before, and now it's there, and it makes me feel a certain way.

When we're falling in love or out of it, that's when we most need a song that says how we feel. Yeah, I write a lot of songs about boys. And I'm very happy to do that.

The way I choose to show my feelings is through my songs.

I think I drift toward sad love songs.

You're creating an intimacy that everybody feels, that it's their experience, not yours. I'll never introduce a song and say, now this song is about 'my' broken heart.
