I study everything that I do to become better all the time at my craft. The beauty for me about being an artist is that the dream will never die because I'm not obsessed with material things and don't care about the money and don't care about the attention of the public but only the love of my fans. For me it's about keeping the dream alive of how much more devoted, how much more honest, how much better of an artist can I become? That's the only fear that I ever have, that the dream will die.

Memories are not recycled like atoms and particles in quantum physics; they can be lost forever.

My friends joke that I’m dead until I get onstage. I’m dead right now as you’re speaking to me.

In fact, my courage and my bravery at a young age was the thing I was bullied for, a kind of 'Who do you think you are?'

My work as an artist is completely separate from my work as a philanthropist.

I think we all need to be inside of us for 3 whole days, thinking about how we can love ourselves more, protect ourselves more, live life with more passion and look not outwards for validation but inwards.

Why spend your whole life trying to be somebody that you're not? It's so much more fun to be yourself **** what everybody says.
