“I love it when people say things to me in public and want to meet me, ...” — Taylor Swift Quote

I love 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 you want to sell 500,000 records, then go out there and meet 500,000 people.'

So many girls come up and say to me, 'I have never listened to country music in my life. I didn't even know my town had a country-music station. Then I got your record, and now I'm obsessed.' That's the coolest compliment to me.

I think I've developed, as many people do, this sense of, 'Don't say the wrong thing, or else people will point at you and laugh.'

I have so many playlists full of Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown.

I don't understand why youngsters today start hitting gym at an early age. I believe the right age for going to gyms is after 35, when you are neither young, nor old.

Trade a player a year too early rather than a year too late.

I would love to be a sleeper, but I'm not. I'm usually up pretty early, even if I've been out the night before.

I started studying Jeet Kune Do in my early 20s.

I have a nostalgia for the years I was growing up and experiencing new things for the first time - so the late '80s and early '90s are always fascinating to me. Those were the times that I was being informed about a lot of my tastes, and so the memories are fused with a lot of emotion.
