I'm encouraging you to know what you're worth. And know that no matter who has more money in class, who has more stuff, who has a country house - nobody is worth more than anybody else.

I find it so important now to be a role model and a figure. And I know that may sound strange to some people, but most important is my connection with my fans and the connection that they breed with one another.

There is nothing Holy about hatred.

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

My concerts are about me being very private in public, but I'm very protective.

I hope when I'm dead I'll be considered an icon, though.

Equality cannot be reached if fought in a divisive way.
