Don’t get high off praises, and don’t get too low on critiques.

I've cried over string arrangements.

Everything is about balance. You can't work, work, work, work without any play.

Honestly, I don’t believe in menswear. I focus on what pieces are most timeless, transcendent, match my lifestyle, remain remarkable, and command intriguing attention across the room at an art gallery.

First, before I'm an artist, before I'm a celebrity, I'm a human being.

You had to change who you were to become famous. I thought that for a very long time. Even after signing a record deal, and then eventually getting my own recording company, Wonderland Records, I had to say no to a lot of opportunities to become well known. If it didn't align with my values and if it didn't support the image I had created for myself, I'd pass.

Perfection is the often the enemy of greatness.
