I find that the very things that I get criticized for, which is usually being different and just doing my own thing and just being original, is the very thing that's making me successful.

I don't want my body to be a distraction from my talent or my brain.

I don't take any day for granted anymore.

I have my own opinions, but my songs don't share them.

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

I'd rather clean my toilet than go to a show-business party.

I really admire artists that are willing to take a different approach and a different angle to their shows.
