“I’d like to say that I’m a big advocate for not hiding your enthusiasm for things…Never be ashamed of trying. Effortlessness is a myth.

"You don't have to forgive and you don't have to forget to move on."
"And then they say 'don't worry, he's right around the corner. It's like no, that is so completely opposite of the point. They don't understand. Everybody has good intentions and they think that in order to be happy, you have to have someone else complete you. But in certain circumstances, when your life completes itself, I think it's important to explore that and embrace it.

“I don't think you should ever have to apologize for your excitement. Just because something's cliche doesn't mean it's not something that's awesome. The worst kind of person is someone who makes someone feel bad, dumb or stupid for … being excited about something. "
"I want to say to all the young women out there: There are going to be people along the way who try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame. But if you just focus on the work and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday, when you get where you’re going, you will look around and you will know — it was you, and the people who love you, who put you there. And that will be the greatest feeling in the world."

"In the last 10 years I have watched as women in this industry are criticized and measured up to each other and picked at for their bodies, their romantic lives, their fashion, or have you ever heard someone say about a male artist, I really like his songs but I don’t know what it is, there’s just something about him I don’t like? No! That criticism is reserved for us! But you know, I’ve learned that the difference between those who can continue to create in that climate usually comes down to this. Who lets that scrutiny break them and who just keeps making art.”
