I will always have a very deep love for Amy Winehouse.

It sometimes makes people feel better about themselves, you know, to put other people down, or make fun of them, or maybe make mockery of their work and that doesn't make me feel good at all.

You have to fail and then get better. Then you have to fail again, and then get even better.

I know people said I wasn't selling out in America, but that was entirely untrue. We sold out all over the world, and every night I looked out into the fans and those front rows that you're talking about, the tears, the honesty, the inability to not be completely overjoyed because they felt accepted.

I thought equality was non-negotiable.

I don't dress any particular way to impress anyone or market myself for my music. It's actually who I am.

I started out playing in clubs. I always like existing under ground and over ground at the same time.
