When you are dealing with real life, there is no way to control it.

My only ambition when I came to Hollywood was to pay my rent.

I think in the old music, everything was so competitive. It was all about - very selfish in a lot of ways. The label sort of capitalized on that desperation and that competition. In the new music landscape, with is the democratization of the internet and music in general, I think it can be a lot more collaborative. People, instead of competing, they can actually support each other, in music.

I've been given the opportunity to be alive in this day and age, and it's rare.

Because when you go out, and you have fun, basically you're performing for these tabloid outlets and the paparazzi. And when you perform and create this story, they're chuffed - they get excited, they capture it, and they put it out.

There's never a better way of living than just improving our quality of life.
