The blurring of fantasy and reality is something that the Japanese herald in their life, in their day-to-day commercialism.

I just want my family to be safe. Because I am sometimes polarizing, I fear for their safety.

I have to be really honest: People who say they can't escape the paparazzi are full of sh*t. Let me just be the artist to throw everybody under the bus. I don't spend lots of money on houses or lots of cars, but I do spend money on security and they never find me.

I hope that what you take away from my album is not just the music - which I did want to be fun, and I did want it to be about individuality, but please also take away from it that there's no dream that's too big.

In the deepest hour of the night I confess to myself three things; I would die if I was forbidden to write, forbidden to love, or forbidden to fashion....love each other, and celebrate the art and lifestyle of music.

I do yoga, I do Bikram and I run, and I eat really healthy.

I’m going to be a star, you know why? Because I have nothing left to lose.
