“I just sing and write songs and wear what I want. It’s quite a good job really. If I wanted to I suppose I could become more of a fashion icon, but singing is my thing.”

I’m a bit of a like girly-girl, really, I like flowery stuff.

You can be the happiest you can be in a relationship but can have an urge to be with someone else. I know a lot of people that it has happened to.

I love prints of skulls and bones and have some taxidermy – a crow and a rabbit – to remind me of home. I like art and have a big portrait of Bjork.

You never know what to expect. You don’t just walk on and expect an amazing reaction.

I still love the skinny jeans thing and I wear my favorite leather jacket constantly. I like being kind of a rock star. I love that I can feel comfortable in a small dress or I can feel comfortable wearing a baggy T-shirt.

I’ve changed the way I look a bit but not intentionally. I’ve cut my hair. I’ve got a bit of pink in it and lately I’ve become a bit monochrome, wearing a lot of black and white.

I guess I started running when I was about 18 and… I feel like it assists my creativity a bit because it completely just flushes everything out.

I’d just like to think that there’s some kind of underworld where whoever’s been lost at sea is there… I dunno, there probably isn’t, but I’d like to believe there is.

Even if a relationship doesn’t work out, you can always take something positive from something negative. You never know what’s around the corner.

One of the most powerful feelings in the world is after a really, really long run.

Apparently I’m introspective, levelheaded, but at the same time, absolutely insane.

It took time to really build myself a reputation as a good live performer, a musician and an artist.

I definitely write about a lot of dreamy, surreal stuff. I do end up going to a surreal world with my music, but I also like the idea of there being really real stuff as well.

Now, if some panic hits me, you have to sort of be friends with your body, it’s like your body will work against you.

I would never create an image for myself; I’m not that clever.

I believe in the moment of things and fate and things happening for a reason, so I write things down and I trust it.

I’m a boy who appreciates a good body, regardless of the make.

There is only one real misfortune: to forfeit one’s own good opinion of oneself. Lose your complacency, once betray your own self-contempt and the world will unhesitatingly endorse it.

I’m grateful my son was – as any mother would say, I had a very good son.

Musclemen grow on trees. They can tense their muscles and look good in a mirror. So what? I’m interested in practical strength that’s going to help me run, jump, twist, punch.

Love yourself, appreciate yourself, see the good in you and respect yourself.

I used to do crazy things that people would bail me out of, and I’m just grateful that I survived. But the music got very lost; I didn’t know where I was going, and I didn’t really care. I was more into just having a good time, and I think it showed.

I train about four or five times a week. I guess I am addicted to it. I also do a lot of martial arts. More than I have done in awhile. I like to go back to martial arts because it makes me feel good.

It would be nice to feel that we are a better world, a world of more compassion and a world of more humanity, and to believe in the basic goodness of man.
