All I want to do when I have time off is to have a laugh with my school friends and go down the pub.

I'm not into the whole showbiz scene.

I'm having a great time. It's like I'm on some ridiculous big roller coaster not knowing what's happening next, but just having a great time on the ride.

I'm really starting to think everything happens for a reason.

But I'm not crazy about the designers like Prada and Gucci. I hate going into designer stores.

I'm based in London now. I'm renting an apartment, making my own little home. It's great because I am around people all the time and I need my own space to get away from it all.

I'm very picky, and I'm never 100% happy with the work I do; I hate watching myself and hearing my voice.

I loved being behind the scenes and finding out how they make movies.

When I'm out with a group I hide in the corner and get legless. I just make sure my friends shield me.

All I say is that I don't go out with famous men.

People watch me, waiting for me to slip up, so my privacy has gone - but that's a price you pay.

Some of us fast so that we can have less discomfort in life. The reason is not far-fetched – God is not interested in your comfort. He is more interested in your purpose.

This must be the legendary Yankee rudeness

You are literally too stupid to insult.

You cannot step twice into the same river.

There's no point breaking a lot of crockery unnecessarily.

The truth is the only way that we can get anywhere.

I always say every single moment that has led me to this moment has made me who I am.

We should always forgive. We should forgive the repentant for their sake, the unrepentant for our sake.

When I was young, I just sat down and started playing Chopsticks at the piano. I got so far and then lost interest. Eventually, I regained it and started writing songs.

When you've learned to believe in yourself, there's no telling how good a player you can be. That's because you have the mental edge.
