Behind every successful person lies a pack of haters.

For some people, fame kills it and becomes more important than the music or the performance. But for me fame is like rocket fuel. The more my fans like what I'm doing, the more I want to give back to them. And my passion is so strong I can't sleep - I haven't slept for three days.

My fans are the best. I mean if there was a war, I think they'd definitely win just because they'd kill them with kindness.

I don't even call them fans. I don't like that. They're literally just a part of my life; they're a part of my family. I don't think of them as on a lower level than me. I don't think I'm anything but equal to all of them. So yeah, they're basically all of my siblings.

I always think I'm the Tom Cruise of music - a lot of success and fans, but no critics, darling.

My fans want my shirt. They can have my shirt. They put it on my back.
