1. For me, writing a song, I sit down and the process doesn't really involve me thinking about the demographic of people I'm trying to hit or who I want to be able to relate to the song or what genre of music it falls under. Taylor Swift
2. I never read one hateful thing said about me by some 12 year old. So I got to live an actual life. And I've kept that mentality. Just because there's a hurricane going on around you doesn't mean you have to open the window and look at it. Taylor Swift
3. I think that it's okay to be mad at someone who hurt you. This isn't about, like, the pageantry of trying to seem like nothing affects you. Taylor Swift
4. There's a lot of pressure putting an album out all over the world and hoping people everywhere like it. Taylor Swift
5. I've never been shy or secretive with the fact that if you walk into my life, you may be walking onto a record. Taylor Swift
6. I put out one album one week, and I'm already worried about the next one. I feel a lot of emotion throughout the course of a day. But not to the point where you need to be worried about me. Taylor Swift
7. I've written all my songs on every single one of my records, and that's what's been fun about looking back. Taylor Swift
8. I've always written songs the same way. You learn different tricks - you learn craft, you learn structure, all that - as you go. Taylor Swift
9. I'm the kind of person who needs to feel like everything happens for a reason. When you date a guy and it goes badly, that's horrible. But if you can write a song about it, then it was worth it. Taylor Swift
10. My style advice to other girls is to be experimental but always have a 'home base' and stick with your comfort style. Taylor Swift
11. People say that about me, that I apparently buy houses near every boy I like - that's a thing that I apparently do. If I like you I will apparently buy up the real-estate market just to freak you out so you leave me. Taylor Swift
12. I'm a Sagittarius, and one of our major qualities is that we're blindly optimistic. Taylor Swift
13. All of my walls are covered with framed pictures of my friends. Taylor Swift
14. The most miraculous process is watching a song go from a tiny idea in the middle of the night to something that 55,000 people are singing back to you. Taylor Swift
15. When I am talking to people who I feel don't like me or are mean, I get really shy, and I kind of curl up personality wise. Taylor Swift
16. I'd like to think you don't stop being creative once you get happy. Taylor Swift
17. When I'm writing a record, I kind of don't listen to much music. Just because I want to be inspired solely on the emotion; just based on how it feels. Taylor Swift
18. Red is such an interesting color to correlate with emotion, because it's on both ends of the spectrum. On one end you have happiness, falling in love, infatuation with someone, passion, all that. On the other end, you've got obsession, jealousy, danger, fear, anger and frustration. Taylor Swift
19. Relationships are like traffic lights. And I just have this theory that I can only exist in a relationship if it's a green light. Taylor Swift
20. I don't compare myself to anyone else; I don't make comments about anyone else because they do what feels right for them, and that's okay by me. Taylor Swift
21. One element of Madonna's career that really takes center stage is how many times she's reinvented herself. It's easier to stay in one look, one comfort zone, one musical style. It's inspiring to see someone whose only predictable quality is being unpredictable. Taylor Swift
22. 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. Taylor Swift
23. I'm not the girl who always has a boyfriend. I'm the girl who rarely has a boyfriend. Taylor Swift
24. I've always been really, really aware of my insecurities - really, really aware. I never developed that thick skin that keeps you from letting things get to you. Taylor Swift
25. I think the perfection of love is that it's not perfect. Taylor Swift
26. 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. Taylor Swift
27. I would love to continue in music, with writing... but I am not the kind of person who will hang around if I start to become irrelevant. If that happens, I will bow down gracefully, raise my kids, and have a garden. And I am going to let my hair go gray when I am older. I don't need to be blonde when I'm 60! Taylor Swift
29. 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. Taylor Swift
30. I still have mixed feelings about what growing up is - this thing that happens to everyone, so I've heard. Taylor Swift
31. I created my MySpace page in eighth grade, because that's how all my friends talked to each other, so I made one, too. Then, all of a sudden, my friends started putting my songs on their profiles, and then their relatives, their friends in different states did. Taylor Swift
32. I've always strived to be successful, not famous. Taylor Swift
33. 'Mean' is a song I wrote about somebody who wrote things that were so mean so many times that it would ruin my day. Then it would ruin the next day. And it would level me so many times, I just felt like I was being hit in the face every time this person would take to their computer. Taylor Swift
34. I think I have a big fear of things spiraling out of control. Out of control and dangerous and reckless and thoughtless scares me, because people get hurt. Taylor Swift
35. I think I am smart unless I am really, really in love, and then I am ridiculously stupid. Taylor Swift
36. When you hear people making hateful comments, stand up to them. Point out what a waste it is to hate, and you could open their eyes. Taylor Swift
37. I have this really high priority on happiness and finding something to be happy about. Taylor Swift
38. I've never thought about songwriting as a weapon. I've only thought about it as a way to help me get through love and loss and sadness and loneliness and growing up. Taylor Swift
39. For everything I do, I think about a 6-year-old girl and her mom that I saw at my concert 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. Taylor Swift
40. I am getting to the point where the only love worth being in is the love worth singing about. Taylor Swift
41. You can draw inspiration from anything. If you're a good storyteller, you can take a dirty look somebody gives you, or if a guy you used to have flirtations with starts dating a new girl, or somebody you're casually talking to says something that makes you so mad - you can create an entire scenario around that. Taylor Swift
42. When you say, 'I spent my summers at the Jersey Shore,' people always say, 'Oh, really?' They think of the TV show. So I just say, 'A cute little harbor town in New Jersey.' Taylor Swift
43. I love the ending of a movie where two people end up together. Preferably if there's rain and an airport or running or a confession of love. Taylor Swift
44. I don't like it when people who are young act like they're 40. That's taking too much on. Putting up a shield and trying to act like you're so mature or whatever - I don't try to act mature. Some people might say I'm mature for my age, but it's not something I'm trying to do, you know? I'm just me. Taylor Swift
45. 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. Taylor Swift
46. People haven't always been there for me, but music always has. Taylor Swift
47. Since I was old enough to understand what a songwriter/producer is, I've had a curiosity about how Max Martin creates what he creates. I wanted to see that happen. I wanted to be there. I wanted to learn from him. Taylor Swift
48. I think the worst part about a breakup sometimes, if one could choose a worst part, would possibly be if you get out of a relationship, and you don't recognize yourself because you changed a lot about you. Taylor Swift
49. Part of me feels you can't say you were truly in love if it didn't last. If I end up getting married and having kids, that's when I'll know it's real - because it lasted. Taylor Swift
50. And, honestly, if somebody wants to criticize me for not being a trainwreck, that's fine with me! Taylor Swift
51. No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind. Taylor Swift
52. At some point, you grow out of being attracted to that flame that burns you over and over and over again. Taylor Swift
54. I can't deal with someone wanting to take a relationship backward or needing space or cheating on you. It's a conscious thing; it's a common-sense thing. Taylor Swift
55. All of my favorite people - people I really trust - none of them were cool in their younger years. Taylor Swift
56. I've been careful in love. I've been careless in love. And I've had adventures I wouldn't trade for anything. Taylor Swift
57. Guarding your heart and protecting your dignity are a little bit more important than clarifying the emotions of someone who's only texting you back three words. I've learned that from trying to figure out people who don't deserve to be figured out. Taylor Swift
58. Even if you're happy with the life you've chosen, you're still curious about the other options. Taylor Swift
59. Some days I totally appreciate everything that's happening to me, and some days I feel everyone's waiting for me to mess up. Taylor Swift
60. I wish all teenagers can filter through songs instead of turning to drugs and alcohol. Taylor Swift
61. As supportive as my hometown is, in my high school, there are people who would probably walk up to me and punch me in the face. There's a select few that will never like me. They don't like what I stand for. They don't like somebody who stands for being sober, who stands for anything happy. They're going to be negative no matter what. Taylor Swift
62. Anything you put your mind to and add your imagination into can make your life a lot better and a lot more fun. Taylor Swift
63. I'm not really that girl who dreams about her wedding day. Taylor Swift
64. I love the scents of winter! For me, it's all about the feeling you get when you smell pumpkin spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, gingerbread and spruce. Taylor Swift
65. It feels kinda weird being back in a high school cause I haven't been in a high school for about a year. So um, it's kinda interesting coming back, and y'know seeing the lockers, with all the signs, the handmade signs, so being in high school again is a little bit strange but in a good way. Taylor Swift
66. I go to Wal-Mart all the time. The one in my hometown of Hendersonville, Tenn., is open 24 hours, so I go there a lot to buy DVDs and stuff like that. Taylor Swift
67. Silence speaks so much louder than screaming tantrums. Never give anyone an excuse to say that you're crazy. Taylor Swift
68. 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. Taylor Swift
69. Anytime someone tells me that I can't do something, I want to do it more. Taylor Swift
70. 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. Taylor Swift
71. Poetry and lyrics are very similar. Making words bounce off a page. Taylor Swift
72. I cap myself when I shop; I don't like to spend extravagant amounts on clothes. But, I do get lent clothes for events, it's scary to wear something so expensive, but I feel really pampered. Taylor Swift
73. One of my big goals as a human being is to continue to write what's really happening to me, even if it's a tough pill to swallow for people around me... I do fear that if I ever were to have someone in my life who mattered, I would second-guess every one of my lyrics. Taylor Swift
74. 'Love Story' I wrote on my bedroom floor in about 20 minutes. Taylor Swift
75. I don't like to feel like I'm some fragile package that has to be shipped by high-priority mail and handled with white gloves. Taylor Swift
76. The only way I hear gossip is if it's big enough and loud enough for my friends to bring it up to me. Or if it's, like, a big untrue ordeal from my publicist - and she hates making that phone call! Taylor Swift
77. My absolute favorite meal in Nashville is sweet-potato pancakes at Pancake Pantry. Taylor Swift
78. In a relationship each person should support the other; they should lift each other up. Taylor Swift
79. If you're yelling you're the one who's lost control of the conversation. Taylor Swift
80. There's room for role models who make mistakes. Taylor Swift
81. When I was a teenager, my biggest lessons came from Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, George Strait, Rascal Flatts and Brad Paisley. I learned so much from opening up for those artists, and it also taught me how to treat your opening acts and make them feel like they're part of a family, not just a tour. Taylor Swift
82. Sitting on a bedroom floor crying is something that makes you feel really alone. If someone's singing about that feeling, you feel bonded to that person. Taylor Swift

84. I have a terrifying long list of fears. Literally everything - diseases, spiders... and people getting tired of me. Taylor Swift
85. 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. Taylor Swift
86. One of the things people don't really recognise about the similarities between country and hip-hop is that they're celebrations of pride in a lifestyle. Taylor Swift
87. If you cry over a guy, then your friends can't date him. It can't even be considered. Taylor Swift
88. As your career grows, the list of things that makes you happy should not become smaller, it should become bigger. Taylor Swift
89. You can't generalise about an entire country, but I like the energy of British men. Taylor Swift
90. When I was younger we had a grape arbor, and my mom would go out and pick grapes and make grape jam in the sink - boil it, put it in jars, and give it away as gifts. Taylor Swift
91. I don't live by all these rigid, weird rules that make me feel all fenced in. I just like the way that I feel like, and that makes me feel very free. Taylor Swift
92. I feel the emotion that life conjures up and the songs I write get me closer to my feelings and realising who I am. It's a natural process. Taylor Swift
93. My friends tease me about the fact that if someone seems bad or shady or like they have a secret, I find them incredibly interesting. Taylor Swift
94. Every one of my regrets has produced a song I'm proud of. Taylor Swift
95. I've found that men I've dated who are in the same business can be really competitive. I've found a great group of girlfriends in the same business who aren't competitive, but a few times guys have started comparing careers and it has been... challenging. Taylor Swift
96. When I'm getting to know someone, I look for someone who has passions that I respect, like his career. Someone who loves what he does is really attractive. Taylor Swift
97. It doesn't bother me when people try to deconstruct my songs - because at least they're looking at the lyrics, and paying attention to the way the story is told. Taylor Swift
98. When I look at acting careers that I really admire, I see that it's been a precise decision-making process for these people. They make decisions based on what they love, and they do only the things that they are passionate about. They play only characters that they can't stop thinking about. Taylor Swift
99. My experience with songwriting is usually so confessional, it's so drawn from my own life and my own stories. Taylor Swift

103. A letdown is worth a few songs. A heartbreak is worth a few albums. Taylor Swift
104. One thing I've tried to never do is make wish lists. I try to have a very steppingstone mentality about this whole thing, where as soon as you make one step you visualize the next step, not five steps ahead. Taylor Swift
105. No matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. Taylor Swift
106. And if you're horrible to me I'm going to write a song about you and you are not going to like it. That's how I operate. Taylor Swift
107. Seeing a live Kenny Chesney show, you know what you're going to get. You know it's going to be an all-day party. Taylor Swift
108. I once went on the most grueling radio tour. Living in hotel rooms, sleeping in the backs of rental cars as my mom drove to three different cities in one day. Taylor Swift
109. For me, genres are a way for people to easily categorize music. But it doesn't have to define you. It doesn't have to limit you. Taylor Swift
110. I love hugging people. I still hug everybody in my meet-and-greet lines. Taylor Swift
111. I feel like my music has become a lot of things. It's hard to label the evolution, but I like there to be an evolution. I just like to paint with all different kinds of colors. Taylor Swift
112. I'm not afraid to write my feelings in songs. Taylor Swift
113. I never want to change so much that people can't recognize me. Taylor Swift

120. A development deal is where they're giving you recording time and money to record, but not promising that they'll put an album out. Taylor Swift
121. I'd like to do a completely off-the-wall collaboration. I would like one of my songs to be the hook to a rap song. That would be so much fun! Taylor Swift
122. I can say I'd honestly rather be happy than have 30 to 40 songs that I've written about these thrilling, exciting, horrible, unhappy times. Taylor Swift
123. I'm the type of person, I have to study to get an A on the test. Taylor Swift
124. I'm not concerned with people seeing me in a certain way. Some people see me as a kid, some people see me as an adult. But I'm seriously not going to complain how anybody sees me, as long as they see me. Taylor Swift
125. When I listen to a song, I don't say, 'Oh my gosh, that vocal line she sang was the best thing I ever heard.' I'm thinking, 'That lyric just moves me. That lyric just said what I feel better than I could say it myself.' Taylor Swift
