I'd heard a lot of Asian people were rooting for me, but I had no idea. I was stunned. They were... impassioned, especially compared to Japan. I couldn't even have anticipated that kind of welcome

Beginnings come at random but endings always have a reason

I don't know my future. I don't know about tomorrow. I can just control for today or present, right now. I don't want to think about future too much, because present is most important for me.

If there are rules and regulations, I can't help it, I want to break them.

I understand it's my role to realize people's dreams. I'm O.K. with that so long as my songs are my own. No one can take my songs away from me.

I always like whatever I did most recently. It's the closest to who I am at the moment.

I don't think you should meet the people you most admire. I don't want reality to interfere with my image.
