I've never wanted to be a star, I never wanted to be a famous person or anything like that, and I think my fans know that as well.

Even when I'm in quite a happy state of mind, I like writing really sad songs. I think a lot of people do.

I can fall in love in a simple way, but I can dissect it in such an intense fashion when it ends.

When I sing along with Britney Spears I will sing in an American accent. But eventually I found my own voice. My songs are so brutally honest, it would be alien to sing in any accent other than my own. Don't get me wrong - I can imitate singers. I can do bar mitzvahs and weddings.

The smallest changes, like I stopped eating meat and I've been doing different kinds of exercise like Yoga and stuff like that, little changes have made me feel a bit more at peace I think.

Some people don't have a way of that catharsis and I do, so I'm lucky in that sense that people listen to my songs and enjoy my songs. It's a really important thing for me, it's how I channel everything. I don't really know what I'd do if I didn't write songs.

The nature of how we are as human beings is that we're much more interested in being critical rather than praising something.
