Be who you are, not who the world wants you to be.

Oh, you know record companies. . . at the end of the day, it's business. If you analyse it, you're just a piece of meat. The minute you go bad, it's: 'Next!'.

I'm not a heartthrob. I hate that word.

Yes, I have made a woman cry.

There hasn't been one moment in my career where I felt I didn't have any control over the creative aspects of my records.

When I'm in love, I wake up happy.

I know it sounds corny, but when you follow your dreams, it happens. And if it's music, take it seriously.
