Identity politics are becoming less important since culture's being blended into one big thing - I look at kids' Tumblrs and they're all into the same things.

I've always thought that reviews and knowing how much your fans appreciate or don't like something, that's the sugar coating. I'm trying not to think about those things.

I'm not worried about repeating myself - I'm more worried that I'd just get bored.

I see a lot of people of color in my fanbase and at all my shows, and it's really awesome.

Once you move in with your significant other, you have to become a combination of each other.

It's really cool to be around people that are younger than you who are really cool with being open about stuff.

I don't put categories on music, myself. So either people go with it or they don't, and sometimes the names sound a little silly.

Maybe one day I'll write my rock album so I can use more obscure references and just be weird. If the lyrics are too crazy, though, then it's not pop anymore.

Kids are starting to dress the same, listen to the same music. I look at their Tumblrs and they're all into the same things.

I don't mind genre names. "Chillwave" is probably the last thing I would think of, but I don't mind it.

See beyond the eyes can see, believe beyond the inspiration!

Be soft, don't let the world make you hard. Be gentle, don't let the people make you difficult. Be kind, don't let the realities of life steal your sweetness and make you heartless.

May the resurrection power of Christ, awake in us a greater spiritual force and strength, so that we can passionately pursue our God-given dreams.

There are two characters in me: a doodler and a tuner. And the only thing that makes me go crazy is when they both fight for their turn.

I had so much fire in me and so many plans.

If you disturb the colors of the rainbow, the rainbow is no longer beautiful.

You can't always write a chord ugly enough to say what you want to say, so sometimes you have to rely on a giraffe filled with whipped cream.

If you can keep as silent as a broken gong, then you have attained, when you know no anger.

The escape from all false ties; courage to be what we are; and love of what is simple and beautiful; independence, and cheerful relation, these are the essentials.

I won't be remembered for my writing. I'll be remembered as Scott's mistress.
