I've never wanted to use my age as a gimmick, as something that would get me ahead of other people. I've wanted the music to do that.

I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show.

I'm shining like fireworks over your sad, empty town

you're an expert at sorry and keeping the lines blurry

You are the only one who gets to decide what you will be remembered for.

Believe in everything you do. Believe in your mistakes and grow from them.

No matter how bad your day is, just be grateful this day is added to your life.

I still love writing in my journal and wearing sparkly dresses and looking at old chandeliers.

People are going to judge you anyway, so you might as well do what you want.

I think every girl's dream is to find a bad boy at the right time, when he wants to not be bad anymore.

I wish all teenagers can filter through songs instead of turning to drugs and alcohol.

Music is what I have to do, I only answer the questions so that I can do it.

Everybody's got a true home—maybe not where they're living, butwhere their heart lives.

I have hope, therefore, I am happy

Find a good teacher, as I found for my sons. I feel the worst thing you can do is to try and teach your own children yourself, because there is a natural rebellion that occurs.

Any reaction is better than none.

To an old memory like mine the present days are but as a little water poured on the deep.

All human relationships must be purchased with money.

How can you contrive to write so even?

May poetry and God's name have mercy on us!
