I try not to date musicians. It's all I've dated. Every guy I've dated is a musician. Obviously, it's not working.

Like every other girl in the world, my most embarrassing moment had to do with a guy completely turning me down. His loss!

My experiences remind me that it's those black clouds that make the blue skies even more beautiful.

I'm very friendly or whatever, but I would hardly say that I'm that cookie-cutter. I don't live in L.A. or New York. I live in Texas, and I go to hole-in-the-wall bars, so there's no paparazzi there.

And if you stop and think about it you won't believe it's true: That all the love you've been giving has all been meant for you.

Love is an earthquake that relocates the center of the universe.

We never get enough of falling in love and believing in love.

I hardly ever work from a synopsis -- I find they act like chains.
