People take things too literal in the Bible and it's totally wrong.

I know that New York is big, there are huge buildings, but in fact, it's quite small and contained.

Some people will never be able to get their real self, but that's fine, because their fake self is also part of them.

I think it is all about creating characters, mixing them up with the stars and the light-years, and coming back to Earth, because we're from this universe. We're not just New York or London; we're stars.

On-stage, I definitely want to use my real self because I'm singing to people who believe in what I'm singing, and I believe in what I'm singing, but they shouldn't be fooled because we all have fake selves and it's in there somewhere. It's not pretending to hurt somebody; it's just something that comes out of me, from my experience.

I'm from a middle class family but my father squandered all the money, so I didn't really run around with rich people. I was very judgmental towards a lot of them.

We're all competent in different ways, we've just got to find a way to push ourselves up more.
