We're taught to be ashamed of confusion, anger, fear and sadness, and to me they're of equal value to happiness, excitement and inspiration.

Peace of mind for five minutes, that's what I crave.

The whole celebrity thing is not something I'm overly interested in. I don't pop up at parties. It's just not my thing.

Music will always be a part of my life. I love music and I don't care how many units I sell.

That what we judge in someone else, we are really judging in ourselves.
