I do support artists standing by their beliefs and walking with integrity. We have to find a better way to commercially exploit music while giving artists their proper respect. This cannot be done while taking their contributions for granted or trying to control the scope of their growth and power through threats and fear tactics.

I don't want to start singing about things like sex, drugs and swearing. I'm into love, and maybe I'll get more into making love when I'm older. But I want to be someone who is respected by everybody.

Real love still happens sometimes. It's not just something we make up when you're nine. I have to believe that. You do too.

Respect was invented to cover the empty place where love should be.

A girl takes too much time to love and a few seconds to hate. but a boy takes a few seconds to love and too much time to hate.

I still believe that love is all you need. I don't know a better message than that.
