I'd rather die standing than live on my knees.

I've succeeded as far as I'm concerned - I don't feel that I have any cliffs I could fall over anytime soon.

A happy heart comes first, then the happy face.

I remember I autographed it to Mutt Lange, and I may only have put one t on Mutt. I mean, I'd never heard of such a name. I'm sure he must've thought that was quite funny. He must've known from that autograph, right off the bat, that I had no idea who he was.

Putting a stamp on things just helps you say, 'Hey, yesterday I was there, and today I'm here.' It's another step forward, and it feels like another turning point and an unleashing of creativity, and now I'm going to start focusing on the show and the production, the fun stuff that comes with it.

Writing is very much a playground - an artistic playground. It's the most fun thing I do.

Music is a great natural high and a great natural escape.
