"I write songs about what I go..." - Quote by Taylor Swift

“I didn't always have 14,000 people wanting to hang out with me on a Saturday night.”

“I try to read as much as I can. I try to read an informative article every day. I try to stay read up on our world issues.”

“I think, as far as branching out with acting, it would take something really right on the mark to distract me from music, because music is everything to me.”

“I really don't know what exactly all the songs mean. Sometimes other people have meanings and when I hear them I think, 'That's really a better meaning than I thought, and perfectly valid, given the words that exist.' So part of what makes a song really good is that people take in different meanings, and they apply them, and they might be more powerful than the ones I'm thinking.”

“Songwriting is like ... being possessed. You try to go to sleep but the song won't let you.”

“I've copyrighted 3,000 songs.”

“It is a rather curious thing to have to divide one's life into personal and official compartments and temporarily put the personal side into its hidden compartment to be taken out again when one's official duties are at an end.”

“I look forward to teaching the occasional class, 'cause I was a professor. And I had fun doing it.”

“I hurt so many people.”
