All my hits in Punjab and Haryana are about heartbreak.

No matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn’t stop for your grief.

There is a time for departure even when there’s no certain place to go.

Particularly in these high school-set movies, there’s something about being in high school that’s like a cauldron, a boiling pot of emotion and joy and heartbreak that you feel so intensely. Because you don’t have any awareness yet, you don’t realize that it’s a finite time and feeling.

There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time.

I’ve never been interested in diarising my life through song. So much stuff has been done before. So many people have brilliantly articulated the pain of heartbreak or the joy of love or whatever. Those elements exist in our music, but I guess I strive to write about unconventional things instead.

All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon the sand.

The men who have had the most to give to their fellow men are those who have enriched their minds and hearts in solitude. It is a poor education that does not fit a man to be alone with himself.

You can’t keep a cool head when you’re drowning in love. You just trash around a lot and scream, and wear yourself out.

Heartbreak was the impetus to me writing poems and music in the first place. Over the years, I had my heart broken so badly that if I didn’t find a way to get all the pain out, I was going to lose my mind. I was crazy! Like, wanting to slash tires and smash car windows.

A lot of people think teenagers haven‘t gone through anything in their lives – they’re not even 20 years old yet. But a twenty-something can go through the same type of experience or heartbreak that a 50-year-old can go through, so why does age matter?

I think the heartbreak of September 11 – America’s grief not only over the loss of life but also the loss of our own innocence – has expanded us as people because it has tenderized our hearts. On a psychological level, the American people have matured as a result of that awful day.

Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.

I feel like no matter what I write about, I try to end up being the stronger person in the situation. Even in heartbreak, I feel like I’m a much stronger person because of that. I don’t want to just write a sad song and still feel sad after that. I want to feel stronger and better.

You need to experience life to be able to write about friendships, relationships, and heartbreak.

I actually don’t pay a lot of attention to the movie ‘industry’… I just do the work when I get it. I never considered anything I was in, or did, as a possible breakthrough for me.
