I went to Legoland in Denmark when I was five, I think, but I went to Germany when I was 17 to have a little adventure after graduation.

I make a living from storytelling - if you're a public person and you sing songs about getting married to get a visa, and you are actually doing that, you're gonna end up in trouble.

I would cut off my right arm to be someone's lover.

What's broken can always be fixed What's fixed will always be broken

You don't get over a broken heart/ You just learn to carry it gracefully.

I would never kiss anyone/ Who doesn't burn me like the sun.

I had a period in my life when I was eight or nine when I was so scared of dying that I wouldn't go out of our house for a whole year.

I really think I need to find a home. I don't know if that includes a girlfriend or not, but first I need to find a home, definitely.

I hate when songwriters refer to their songs as babies.

The only thing that deeply frustrates me is the slow speed [of major labels]. The more people involved, the slower the pace.

Now that the Sanctity and Holiness of heterosexual marriage has been destroyed, are they going to cancel The Bachelor?

If the United States wants to prevent other countries from acquiring the bomb, it must be prepared to reduce and eventually end its own reliance on nuclear weapons.

Why do we travel to remote locations? To prove our adventurous spirit or to tell stories about incredible things? We do it to be alone amongst friends and to find ourselves in a land without man.

I would like to get jobs doing other things that aren't necessarily always with my husband. I'd like to show range - and kiss another guy.

There is a vast difference between failure and temporary defeat.

Knowledge is a process, not a product.

The sign of a masterpiece: A painting when there's a lack of resolution.
