What made my mind go free is that I wanted to become an artist.

I wake up and I do class straight away, so that gives me a free day to do things.

If you open yourself as an artist, as a human being to this experience of growing, you grow anyway.

I feel like I'm getting stronger and stronger, and I don't practice as much as I used to.

People are going to think what they want to think. I let them. You can’t control perception. It’s a losing game so I don’t play. I let them lose; lose themselves in their own fantasies of what they want me to be. A rebel, an angel, a romantic, a heart breaker, a boy, a man. Perhaps I am all of those things. Perhaps I’m none. But what I am is for me to find out, not to be dictated to me. It’s for me to know.

Not many people understand that, but if you open yourself to listening - you don't even have to exercise - you get better with time.

Artists are kids. I feel like I'm six years old.
