Taylor Swift

All you need to do to be my friend is like me.

Anything you put your mind to and add your imagination into can make your life a lot better and a lot more fun.

My imagination is a twisted place.

I remember straightening my hair because I wanted to be like everybody else, and now the fact that anybody would emulate what I do? It's just funny.

I think I have to trust that you end up with the person you're supposed to end up with, and that everything in between is there to teach you stuff.

It's so much easier to like people, and to let people in, to trust them until they prove that you should do otherwise. The alternative is being an iceberg.

Songs are my diaries; they always have been. You have to put your trust in everyone because putting down those real, personal details and thoughts that make a song authentic also opens you right up. I am constantly misunderstood; a lot of people just don't get me.

Faith Hill is a big role model.

I spend a lot of time balancing between faith and disbelief.

I'm intimidated by the fear of being average.

I think fearless is having fears but jumping anyway.

You have people come into your life shockingly and surprisingly. You have losses that you never thought you'd experience. You have rejection and you have learn how to deal with that and how to get up the next day and go on with it.

There's so much about Dolly Parton that every female artist should look to, whether it's reading her quotes or reading her interviews or going to one of her live shows. She's been such an amazing example to every female songwriter out there.

No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.

In my opinion, the only way to conquer stage fright is to get up on stage and play. Every time you play another show, it gets better and better.

I think every girl's dream is to find a bad boy at the right time, when he wants to not be bad anymore.

When you are missing someone, time seems to move slower, and when I'm falling in love with someone, time seems to be moving faster.

My ultimate goal is to end up being happy. Most of the time.
