If you can't,can't be yourself what are you living for? If you can't, can't be yourself you're gonna lose it all

The one thing I've learned in the last ten years is that successful artists don't get paid to write and sing songs, they get paid for the psychological roller coaster they're going to have to ride. That's the hard work.

Realistically, English is a universal language; it's the number one language for music and for communicating with the rest of the world.

I don't sleep much. It takes me a long time to fall asleep. I'm a bit of an insomniac but, when I fall asleep, I don't ever want to wake up.

I want to clarify it: I'm not against marriage, marriage is great if you want to get married. A lot of my friends are happily married. I don't think walking down the aisle and [having] a legal document can make a difference. That doesn't mean you love someone more or you respect them more - you can be with someone perfectly well without being married.

You should do whatever language you feel is the perfect language for you to sing in and then try to strive to do the best.

If you're buying an album because of the face on it, you're stupid.
