My mother has all my awards, because if I walked downstairs every day and saw all my achievements it would be so easy to become complacent.

My travels led me to where I am today. Sometimes these steps have felt painful, difficult, but led me to greater happiness and opportunities.

When you do something beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun, every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.

It is the docile who achieve the most impossible things in this world.

I can never be safe; I always try and go against the grain. As soon as I accomplish one thing, I just set a higher goal. That's how I've gotten to where I am.

I've accomplished enough with the music that I haven't had to go out there and do other things to over-saturate.
