Be yourself, don't take anything from anyone, and never let them take you alive.

One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching

Sing, that's the most powerful weapon you have.

My favourite thing about touring is really the shows, because early on you can say it's definitely things like travel and seeing the world and stuff like that, but over time you don't really get to see the world. The most important thing in the day is the show. So that's why I do it.

The only thing I learnt in high school is that people are very violent and territorial.

When Scorsese shoots a violent scene, it's very uncomfortable - it's not like watching 'Rambo.'

Though we feel extremely connected through all this technology [social networks], there's also this disconnect that happens. Because you're not actually talking to anyone. You're not actually meeting them for coffee. To me, social media is about "you". It's like, "Well, twenty people like this thing I said", so that's about me.
