Knowing that I inspired SAM SMITH is one of the most powerful experiences I've had as an artist. I was Sam. I still am Sam.

I see love in black and white. Passion in shades of “gris”. But when it comes to you and I, color is all I see.

When I was younger, I felt pressure to become someone else once I became successful.

Sometimes in life you don't always feel like a winner, but that doesn't mean you're not a winner, you want to be like yourself. I want my fans to know it's okay.

I want my fans to know I'm there for them. I want them to see every part of me. I am never going to leave them.

It is fair to write about the change in your magazines. But what I want to see is the change on your covers ... When the covers change, that's when culture changes.

I'm drawn to bad romances.
