I want to make music that stands the test of time.

In terms of fashion, I love adding a fun scarf to whatever I'm wearing - it's a great way to dress up a plain outfit!

Cool is overrated. Be a geek for what you Love

I love Beyonce. She's so fierce. I also love Lily Allen, and she was an influence on my music.

I really do like Bruno Mars. I think he's very good. And I love Maroon 5.

I'm really passionate about music.

Fancy borrows much from memory, and so looks back to the past.

In lightness the root is lost. In haste the ruler is lost.

You get a role like this in a big action movie [like Jack Reacher] and you can go one of two ways: you can paint in broad strokes, which happens a lot in action films, or you can get very detailed.

Beware of the conversationalist who adds "In other words."

If you look at the world now its one that we couldn't have imagined in 1997! That I would be able to hit a button and a taxi will show up? We wouldn't have believed that everything is disposable!
