I'm not going to be somebody who wants to hold on to my fame for the rest of my life.

Life is short. It can come and go like a feather in the wind.

My music must reflect whatever's going on in my mind, and my life needs to evolve for me to discover who it is I'm becoming.

Suffering does not discriminate.

I'm neither embarrassed of who I am, where I come from, what I've experienced, I'm not ashamed of it.

Sting I've seen a few times, and he really inspired me in the sense that he breaks the songs down a lot and will take a different approach. He'll take an acoustic approach to them; he'll rearrange them for the live stage.

It always disappoints me when I go to a concert and they don't play my favorite song, or at least one of their biggest hits.
