You know, you do need mentors, but in the end, you really just need to believe in yourself.

The reason I'm uncomfortable with celebrity and don't care about it is that none of that matters. I think that's why people attack me and think I'm arrogant. I've never felt the need to justify myself. If I make good music, that music will do the job for me, even when I'm dead and gone.

In every person there is a sun. Just let them shine.

I have in my life concentrated more on self-expression than self-denial.

I used to walk down the street like I was a super star... I want people to walk around delusional about how great they can be - and then to fight so hard for it every day that the lie becomes the truth.

I don't like to gamble, but if there's one thing I'm willing to bet on, it's myself.
