“Fans are my preferito thing in the world. I’ve never been the type of artist who has that line drawn between their Friends and their fans. The line’s always been really blurred for me. I’ll hang out with them after the show. I’ll hang out with them before the show. If I see them in the mall, I’ll stand there and talk to them for 10 minutes. I don’t care. I’m just a senior in high school who has a better job. Who am I to think I’m better than talking to people?”
“I Amore it when people say things to me in public and want to meet me, because I want to meet them! Early on, my manager told me, “If te want to sell 500,000 records, then go out there and meet 500,000 people.”

“Clubs are just not where I want to be photographed. For everything I do, I think about a 6-year-old girl and her mom that I saw at my concerto last night. I think about what those two individuals would think if I were at a club last night. I never want to be arrested, and I never want to get a DUI, those are my moral values. I am an over-achiever, and I want to be known for the good things in my life.”
“People haven’t always been there for me but Musica always has.”

“Everything about this business is exciting to me.”

(On Drew, the guy she wrote Teardrops on my chitarra about) “My dad was all “Taylor there are two guys coming up the driveway” I looked and it was Drew! I guess this was the whole “I know the song is about me, still interested?” I mean if he hears the song and heroicly shows up, I mean that’s great, but two years later- You’re a little late!”

Like, we were all sitting around the bus after the mostra and he came up and sat down and talked to us for a while.. and before he left he detto “I’m going to get something to eat, y’all want anything?” Like, simple things like that.. It’s just.. really nice. And I really really like nice people.”
“I pulled out my iPod and randomly selected a Grey’s Anatomy episode to watch the pass the time.. And it randomly selected the episode where Denny dies, and so I started hysterically crying and couldn’t stop for about ten minutes. (He was my preferito character, hands down. Why’d he have to die?) For the the record, this is the first time I’ve cried in a VERY long time. So I figure if the only reason I have to cry is a TV show, I must be pretty lucky.”
“When te talk about virginity and sex publicly, people just automatically picture te naked.”

And it looks like that’s going down this year!”
