My parents dreaded the fact that I was changing my life to do this, but I just kept doing it.

When I fall in love I take my time There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind You can turn off the sun but I'm still gonna shine and I'll tell you why.

Through my years as a writer, I've learnt how to simplify the message and pen songs that have a more specific quality - it's not just about my ego and trying to meet girls.

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.

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

Equality and separation cannot exist in the same space.

What I get on a yoga mat, and from a yoga teacher, has been more beneficial onstage than any other workshop I've ever done.
