I think I have a better sense of my weaknesses - being self-important, selfish and having a big ego probably triggers all the other stuff. I can see myself more clearly.

My public image is so low-key, but I get to travel the world and still have an audience and it's really amazing. I don't take that for granted.

I just really allowed my muse to be my guide and I just go with whatever I'm feeling.

I don't consider my homosexuality a political thing. I consider it a sexual and spiritual thing. I only started going to political rallies to meet women.

There are days when I still want to be able to do what I want when I want, but there's also something wonderful about being secure.

I wanted to write songs that would play themselves on stage, songs that sweep you through their current.

I just try to live a really simple, natural life, because obviously, life has an impact on your voice.
