I'm a good person, but with many defects.

And people coming up asking for autographs, there's only one time when it kind of bothers me: when I'm eating.

I prefer love over sex.

I really want to fall in love.

We all feel love, and that might sound kind of corny, but I really feel that's what joins musicians together around the world.

Realistically, English is a universal language; it's the number one language for music and for communicating with the rest of the world.

Love is one of my main inspirations.

Yes, I have made a woman cry.

I'm a good person, but with many defects.

I mean, if you turn on the radio, love is 90 percent of the music.

I'm very romantic.

My inspiration are the woman, friendship, and loneliness.

When I'm in love, I wake up happy.

I always respect a woman.

Yeah, exactly, you can talk about politics in music, you can talk about something else, but that's always going to change, and love is never going to change.

I was happier before, when I lead a normal life.

Being anxious is the worst feeling in the world.

I don't like being lied to, so I only lie about the stupid things. White lies, basically.

I don't sleep much. It takes me a long time to fall asleep. I'm a bit of an insomniac but, when I fall asleep, I don't ever want to wake up.

I know it sounds corny, but when you follow your dreams, it happens. And if it's music, take it seriously.

I love what I do, and I think I've appreciated it more throughout the years, but just to keep on traveling, keep on doing shows, and hopefully making better albums. That's always my goal.

I wouldn't change anything. I've made mistakes, but thanks to those mistakes, I've learned.

I'm quite grounded.

I'm so proud of who I am and where I come from and who my father is.

If they would have told me when I was just 18 that I was going to have a career that would last so long, I'd have said it was impossible, that it was crazy that that could happen in my life, so I'm happy to be here. To be able to go out on stage every day.

If you're buying an album because of the face on it, you're stupid.

My best personality trait that I think I'm very approachable. And my worst is that I can be moody.

The one thing I've learned in the last ten years is that successful artists don't get paid to write and sing songs, they get paid for the psychological roller coaster they're going to have to ride. That's the hard work.

The power of music in Spanish is so strong, that I couldn't stay away from it any longer.

There are days that I wake up and I complain, and when I complain I pinch myself and say, 'that's for complaining.' Not many people can do what they really like in life.

I dont like being lied to so I only lie about the stupid things. White lies basically.

'Finnegans Wake,' 'Alice and Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass' live on my bedside table back home in London.

A mad person sees what isn't there; A visionary sees what isn't there yet.

I discovered surfing, which I absolutely fell in love with. That feels good and kind of keeps your body aligned, so does the salt water.

If anyone comes to me, I want to lead them to Him.

I was the tallest guy in the school, and I was very conscious of being larger than anybody - classmates and teachers.

All of a sudden, you have this newborn you have no training for. It's frightening.

I'm a junkie for exhaustion, and I'm a junkie for setting up my expectations too high and then trying to meet them.

I like to think of my style as pretty versatile. And I'd like whatever I record to reflect that to be mostly genre - to be just something that people want to listen on to see what I'm going to come up with next. That's the kind of music I'm into.

Dream big dreams, but start small. A journey of thousand steps begins with a step.

We filmed one scene on the beach and there was definitely weird energy around, and we were followed around by a white owl to several different locations, and little things like that, or certain mishaps would happen and you'd have to wonder what that was about.

Building product is not about having a large team to manage. It is about having a small team with the right people on it.

I have to tell you, though, the sexism in late night talk is so profound.

Picture yourself in your minds eye as having already achieved this goal. See yourself doing the things you'll be doing when you've reached your goal.

We didn't know anything about comedy duos - Abbot and Costello, Martin and Lewis - we didn't know anything about that. Kim Fields showed us a tape of Martin and Lewis and their old shows and they come through the curtain so we started doing research on them.

You can't propel a nation to move forward if all you are doing is taking something from them.

That the way to achieve higher standards of living for all is through science and technology, taking advantage of better tools, methods and organization.

Fighting for identity is something that is very much in my life.

When I go out on the ice, I just think about my skating. I forget it is a competition.
