The Beatles are my number one - I think everything they did was amazing!

The trapeze was my first love. To me, it's normal. It's all I've ever known.

You should hear what my parents wanted to call me. It was between Brown Rice, Neon Hitch and Z. Ziggurat Zanzibar Zandorf. I'm not joking. Imagine fitting that on my passport!

I don't believe in trying to be somebody you're not - just be a bigger, better version of yourself.

I don't follow the rules. That's kind of how I do everything.

I believe in magic, and having a vision. The tough times made me a warrior. I work hard.

I have a little gypsy palace here in New York. It's all mirrors, and I have my own garden. It's so secluded - the closest thing to a caravan I could find!

My background sets me apart. I've never been able to relate to many people. I've always been the outcast child.

Through my music, I've found a place in the world where I'm accepted, so I'm happy.

As for today's music, Nicki Minaj is killing it. She's an amazing artist.

My family traveled with a whole community to European festivals. My mum did gymnastics, freak show performances, and swung fire in the circus, so I followed her footsteps.

I want my clients to trust me.

I live by myself, which I love. In this industry, you're so often surrounded by people and busy and talking to people. It's kind of lovely when you get home to just chill out.

Let me tell you this, if I had wanted to have a library of audio and videotapes of Bill Clinton, I could have had that. And after I was accused of being a liar, I wished that I had of.

It takes a lot of dedication to quit smoking, and whether you give up for good on your first try or have to give it a couple of tries - just keep swinging at it and you will succeed.

Prisons don't rehabilitate, they don't punish, they don't protect, so what the hell do they do?

God aims to look valuable in the world, and that happens when we treasure him above all else.

Those are the magical songwriting moments, when you have a partner that clicks like that. That's a dream come true, man.

Builders, raise the ceiling high, Raise the dome into the sky, Hear the wedding song! For the happy groom is near, Tall as Mars, and statelier, Hear the wedding song!

I find coming up with a title the hardest part of writing a novel.
