You look at someone like Beyoncé singing Single Ladies, when we all know she's married. Some of it is just for entertainment.

The records are black boxes for me. Like, if you want to know who I am, my views, my perspective, things I love, things I hate, my convictions, my anthems. I've never let people's opinions affect the way I write.

I am never usually taking myself too seriously and I think that people when they read stuff from me, they have to realise that I'm having fun.

I came from a different mind-set growing up, and my mind has changed.

Touring is always important to me. It's like a big IOU to my fans, because I know they are the reason I exist.

I'm a romantic and I kinda believed in this fairy tale. And in some ways I think that's always been to my advantage, because like if you can believe in something great, I feel like you can achieve something great.

You know you're living right when you wake up, brush your hair - and confetti falls out!
