Taylor Swift

“I've always strived to be successful, not famous.”

“I think who you are in school really sticks with you. I don't ever feel like the cool kid at the party, ever. It's like, 'Smile and be nice to everybody, because you were not invited to be here.'”

“I never want to change so much that people can't recognize me.”

“I'm typically single. I'm the girl who - I call it girl-next-door-itis - the hot guy is friends with and gets all his relationship advice from but never considers dating.”

“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.”

“You can make a board for all the goals you want in your life with the pictures on it, and that's great, daydreaming is wonderful, but you can never plan your future.”

“My imagination is a twisted place.”

“All of my favorite people - people I really trust - none of them were cool in their younger years.”

“I know that a Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania is about the most random place for a country singer to come from, but I had an awesome childhood.”

“I think about food literally all day every day. It's a thing.”

“I am alone a lot, which is good. I need that time to just be alone after a long day, just decompress. So, I go to either my house or the hotel, or my apartment, or whatever - wherever I am, I go home and I watch TV and I sit there, with my cat, and I just watch TV or go online, check my emails.”

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

“My style advice to other girls is to be experimental but always have a 'home base' and stick with your comfort style.”

“I have so many indie bands on my iPod. What I don't really understand is the attitude that if a band is unknown, they're good, and if they get fans, then you move on to the next band.”

“I never give advice unless someone asks me for it. One thing I've learned, and possibly the only advice I have to give, is to not be that person giving out unsolicited advice based on your own personal experience.”

“I have this fear of falling in front of large groups of people. That's why I tend not to wear heels.”

“Faith Hill is a big role model.”

“I have this really high priority on happiness and finding something to be happy about.”

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

“A lot of people ask me, 'How did you have the courage to walk up to record labels when you were 12 or 13 and jump right into the music industry?' It's because I knew I could never feel the kind of rejection that I felt in middle school. Because in the music industry, if they're gonna say no to you, at least they're gonna be polite about it.”

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