I've been compared to people since the beginning. When you're starting out, you need a comparison so people will understand you right away.

When you're writing a song and there are five people invested in it, it's easy for one person to say, 'Oh, this song is about this and that', and everyone has to hear the idea and see if they can do better.

I really want to be able to keep going and I realize that in some aspects I've got to treat myself like an athlete.

I want to be surrounded by women, I want to be snuggled and cuddled and pampered.

I love surprises and coincidences. I love them even more when I don't pass them off as luck, but rather recognize them as a sign that my life's course is right on track.

Life can't work for you if you don't show up as you.

Whenever I'm in need of inspiration and mantras, I go straight to simple affirmations. 'I am strong', 'I am brave', 'I can do this' and 'I'm awesome'. Whatever you put after 'I am', you will become. 'I am' are the two most powerful words, so make sure what you say after 'I am' is what you want to experience. It's like a magic trick.
