I love music and musicians. And seeing great artists dropped from labels was really frustrating and sad to me

Criticism really used to hurt me. Most of these critics are usually frustrated artists, and they criticise other people's art because they can't do it themselves. It's a really disgusting job. They must feel horrible inside

Music used to change people's minds - and it still changes mine.

I think the most important thing for an artist is to not worry about what anybody else thinks. You just have to do what comes from your heart and your being and put it out there-that's true in any of the arts.

Most true artists care about music as a pure, passionate art form, but can get caught in the trap of the business. Which, sadly, has now become more important than the artist or even the music itself.

Most men are not that evolved.

I have trouble saying hu ... hu ... husband.
