I was about to meet Beyonce, and I had a full-blown anxiety attack. Then she popped in looking gorgeous, and said, 'You're amazing! When I listen to you I feel like I'm listening to God.'

In my hometown memories are fresh.

Music isn't for the eyes, it's for the ears

I don't make music for eyes. I make music for ears.

Be brave and fearless to know that even if you do make a wrong decision, you're making it for a good reason.

I've never had a problem with the way I look. I'd rather go for lunch with my friends than go to a gym.

I have insecurities of course, but I don't hang out with anyone who points them out to me.

Don't underestimate the things that I will do.

A drunk tongue is an honest one in my opinion.

I like having my hair and face done, but I'm not going to lose weight because someone tells me to. I make music to be a musician not to be on the cover of Playboy.

I've got some news... I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together. I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we're over the moon.

If you wish to sell to anyone you must earn the right to do so.

Ideas stand in the corner and laugh while we fight over them.

I think space, architectural space, is my thing. It's not about facade, elevation, making image, making money. My passion is creating space.

You couldn't even write me a paper about the roles you would dream of playing in modern musical theatre.

I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be let alone!' There is all the difference.

It was wrong to allow Stalin to shape the European landscape of the 20th century. It would be even more wrong to let him shape the landscape of the 21st century

Funky like your grandpa's drawers, don't test me We in like that, you're dead like Presley

Surround yourself with people who are really good and really passionate about what they do regardless of what it is...positivity and passion make a powerful combination.

It's not what you know anymore that counts, it's how fast you learn

I've been worrying about God a little bit lately... It seems like he's been in a bad mood. And I think it has to do with the quality of lovers he's been getting.
