Anytime someone tells me that I can't do something, I want to do it more.
People are going to judge you anyway, so you might as well do what you want.
When I get to tell a story through music videos or TV, it's all about finding the story that I want to tell, so I'm definitely open to acting roles, it just depends on the story.
We all dream about love, want to be in love, and have been hurt by love.
Never believe anyone who tells you that you don't deserve what you want.
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.'
One of my goals from really early on was that if I was ever fortunate enough to be successful in music, I would want to stay the same person and the same songwriter.
I'm intrigued and drawn to people who know exactly who they are, who know what they want, who live life on their own terms.
I really don’t want a compilation of sounds. I just need them to be songs.
I wouldn't want to date a pushover who would let me make all the plans and have all the control.
I never want to end up being a self-centered, vain human being.
I want someone to say, 'I love you and that's all I really know.' That's the girly girl in me.
I'm Taylor, I'm 11 and I want a record deal.
I want to write a song for someone who has just fallen in love or someone single and living their live.
They can say whatever they want about my personal life because I know what my personal life is, and it involves a lot of TV and cats and girlfriends.
you don't know me, but i bet you want to.
I've wanted one thing for me whole life and I'm not going to be that girl who wants one thing her whole life then gets it and complains.
Sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know, or pushing people down to get you where you want to go... soon your gonna find stealing other people toys on the playground won't make you many friends...
I don't believe in endorsing a product that you don't want to endorse.
I go to all these photo shoots, and each time I figure out something new about myself and what I want to wear.
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.
When I'm in my 50s, I kind of think I'll want to be in a garden.
I've never been fascinated by the party lifestyle. Penciling in a night to get wasted is not something I want to do.
I think that what people always want is what they don't have a lot of.
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.
I've wanted one thing in my life. I don't want to be that girl that gets that one thing then complains.
I love Karlie Kloss. I want to bake cookies with her!
I didn't want to just be another girl singer. I wanted there to be something that set me apart.
And, honestly, if somebody wants to criticize me for not being a trainwreck, that's fine with me!
Don't ever call a guy first. The thing they want the most is whatever they can't have. It sounds really juvenile, but it works.
