The one place where I'm allowed to rebel, and the one place where I'm allowed to not worry about censoring myself is my music.

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.

The problem is not making up the steps but deciding which ones to keep.

I wanted to remember in order to be able to return.

I think that we do have a great country, but there's a lot of things that we're not so great at. Unfortunately, education is one of them.

One of my Miss America judges called me a "God-clutcher" way back when because I spoke about my faith being an important part of my life during my interview.

A man perfect to the finger tips.

..we wear the mask that grins and lies, it hides our cheeks and shades our eyes- this debt we pay to human guile; with torn and bleeding hearts we smile.

Life is absolutely insane. Yes, life is insane but the great wisdom lies in choosing your insanity wisely.
