In the songs I can still be really really direct but in interviews when I'm explaining my songs I shouldn't be so direct about who they're about.
I don’t have time to worry about something as petty as what I look like
If I am constantly working, my relationships fail. So at least now I can have enough time to write a happy record. And be in love and be happy. And then I don't know what I'll do. Get married. Have some kids. Plant a nice vegetable patch.
Don't underestimate the things that I will do.
There's a fire starting in my heart
I like looking nice, but I always put comfort over fashion. I don't find thin girls attractive; be happy and healthy. I've never had a problem with the way I look. I'd rather have lunch with my friends than go to a gym.
I'm like Johnny Cash. I only wear black.
People are starting to go on about my weight but I'm not going to change my size because they don't like the way I look.
Heartbreak can definitely give you a deeper sensibility for writing songs. I drew on a lot of heartbreak when I was writing my first album, I didn't mean to but I just did.
The way I write my songs is that I have to believe what I'm writing about, and that's why they always end up being so personal - because the kind of artists I like, they convince me, they totally win me over straight away in that thing. Like, 'Oh my God, this song is totally about me.'
I don't care if you're black, white, short, tall, skinny, rich or poor. If you respect me I'll respect you
I like having my hair and face done, but I'm not going to lose weight because someone tells me to. I make music to be a musician not to be on the cover of Playboy.
Whenever I'm about to eat meat I always see my little dog's eyes.
Next time I'll be braver, I'll be my own savior, Standing on my own two feet.
