There's always a silver lining to every cloud and everything has to happen for a reason and if everything's really challenging, then you can make it into a positive.

If you capture the first thought that you have when you're creating, and then play that to people, it's kind of like the listeners are part of that beginning. And that's the most exciting part.

If you give yourself too much time, you kind of over-obsess about the music. It's not supposed to be like that.

It's not a deliberate thing. It's not like I was rejecting the UK, which is what the papers said. It's just that when you spend a lot of time in your formative years around an accent, you're going to pick it up. I had been living in LA for a bit and that's what happened.

Love #music. It will #love you back.

I made my new album 'Colour Me Free!' in a week with my own money.

I've had to grow up with everyone watching me, which has been hard.
