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.

In my hometown memories are fresh.

Music isn't for the eyes, it's for the ears

I don't make music for eyes. I make music for ears.

Be brave and fearless to know that even if you do make a wrong decision, you're making it for a good reason.

I've never had a problem with the way I look. I'd rather go for lunch with my friends than go to a gym.

I have insecurities of course, but I don't hang out with anyone who points them out to me.

Don't underestimate the things that I will do.

A drunk tongue is an honest one in my opinion.

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.

I've got some news... I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together. I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we're over the moon.

Trust God, He will care for your every need.

Think different in order to change the rules. By definition, if you don't change the rules you aren't a revolutionary, and if you don't think different, you won't change the rules.

Science has nothing to be ashamed of even in the ruins of Nagasaki. The shame is theirs who appeal to other values than the human imaginative values which science has evolved.

I try not to live my life on my phone or my social media pages. Most of the time, I feel better and happier and I learn more when I'm not on my phone, all day, or a computer, or an iPad.

You have to fix something when it first appears.

I'm not a gentle pony... I promise you, you will have to work to keep your seat.

These soldiers had done what they had done, and been done unto in return. This was how it went. In the cycle of slaughter, reprisal begat reprisal, forever.

I’m just going to do what I want now, and let the chips fall where they may.
