"When I was 8 years old, it..." - Quote by Taylor Swift

“I love hugging people. I still hug everybody in my meet-and-greet lines.”

“I'm Taylor, I'm 11 and I want a record deal.”

“All those emotions spanning from intense love, intense frustration, intense jealously, all those feelings are red.”

“When I was a little girl, I always dreamed of being a star. I didn't really know what all that meant. I didn't know.”

“Too many parents make life hard for their children by trying, too zealously, to make it easy for them.”

“As with all children, the feeling that I was useful was perhaps the greatest joy I experienced.”

“No man, even though he be Shakespeare, can write perfectly when his web is woven of threads that have been spun in many lands.”

“In the future, artists will get record deals because they have fans-not the other way around...The only memento 'kids these days' want is a selfie. It's part of the new currency, which seems to be 'how many followers you have on Instagram'.”

“I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate.”
