Music is a very powerful thing. If I'm angry, I can write a song about it, and it seems to make everything okay.

Live your life with arms wide open. Today is where your book begins. The rest is still unwritten.

Surround yourself with friends who only call you a superstar

Feel the rain on your skin, no one else can feel it for you.

The pen is in your hands, the rest is still unwritten.

I bruise easily so be gentle when you handle me.

A lot of my songs are about taking whatever life throws at you and making the most of it.

Staring at the blank page before you, Open up the dirty window, Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find.

Write your own songs. It helps you to mean what you're singing, which will then make it mean something to listeners.

I love arranging my music, not in alphabetical order but by mood, creating playlists for when I have energy and want to work out or go-out party mixes and music to chill out to.

I know I should keep this a secret, but Celine Dion is something of an icon to me.

I feel like I’ve been split open and stuffed with sunshine.

The relationship between commitment and doubt is by no means an antagonistic one. Commitment is healthiest when it's not without doubt but in spite of doubt.

Every daring attempt to make a great change in existing conditions, every lofty vision of new possibilities for the human race, has been labeled Utopian.

I also have intense relationships with furniture... probably because we practically had none when I was growing up.

Love can bear anything better than ridicule.

My dog is so old, she now has a lot of cats.

A 99% Value-at-Risk calculation does not evaluate what happens in the last one percent... This is like an airbag that works all the time, except when you have a car accident.

It is time to start going door to door and convincing our neighbours to vote for a clean-energy future.

I hope people like me and appreciate me the way I am.

The future has several names. For the weak, it is impossible; for the fainthearted, it is unknown; but for the valiant, it is ideal.
