Songwriting is a very frustrating art form. You have to get on tape exactly what's playing inside your head

I don't understand why the press is so interested in speculating about my appearance, anyway. What does my face have to do with my music or my dancing?

But if you don't have that memory of being loved, you are condemned to search the world for something to fill you up. But no matter how much money you make or how famous you become, you will still feel empty. What you are really searching for is unconditional love, unqualified acceptance. And that was the one thing that was denied to you at birth.

I love to read. I wish I could advise more people to read. There’s a whole new world in books. If you can’t afford to travel, you travel mentally through reading. You can see anything and go any place you want to in reading.

A perfectionist has to take his time.

Damned indecision and cursed pride.

If you came to see the truth, the purity, it's here inside a lonely heart.
