You have to give love to get love.

My gift and my curse is that I really want to be loved. What drives me to make music is love - whether it's shallow or deep or whatever. I want to do things that make people love me.

Life is full of constant ups and downs, and all I ask for is redemption in the end.

I write songs like "The Sweetest Love." Of course I'm a little cheesy. Love is cheesy. Love is corny. But it's also the greatest feeling in the whole world.

I'm trying to create the world around myself to be a place of as much equality and openheartedness as possible.

Inspiration and stealing are two completely different things. If somebody wants to make a song like "Stairway to Heaven" and writes a song on acoustic guitar, Led Zeppelin does not own every song that's on acoustic guitar for the rest of time.

Women and their bodies are beautiful. Men are always gonna want to follow them around.
