I think the main reason for staying positive is because if I walk out this door and get hit by a car and I have 10 seconds to live, in those 10 seconds, am I gonna sit there and regret being having been negative and bored my whole life?

I was a big rugby player and into my motocross, so I lost loads of weight and a rumor went around the town that I had picked up a drug addiction!

People keep comparing me to people, and I just ignore it.

Now I've got that [life is a journey not a destination] tattooed on my arm because it just reminds me of that time, and I think it's just an amazing quote.

I do like expressing how I feel about things in my music.

I'm still quite small-minded and small-town, and people look at me like, "You're too famous to remember me." I want to give them a tap on the shoulder and thank them.

We need to hold onto that so that people can be told in the right way that they're going through these things [like tumors] early instead of discovering them late. Discovering important health news too late happens far too much.
