“When I was born, that was the music my mother was listening to. Michael Jackson is a third parent to me.”

Ain’t nobody gonna care enough to catch you fall.

Push it to the limit, push it through the pain.

Music is like film to me.

I’m all about evolution. I’m the first person to judge myself.

I can never be Michael Jackson or do what he did, but he is definitely a good inspiration: I want to give the kids that feeling.

I think that’s why my career is going to be so long: Because I haven’t given people everything.

I owe to myself to show the world how versatile I can be.

I don’t wanna touch the sky no more, I just wanna feel the ground when I’m coming down.

I make good music for long journeys.

We’re all insecure, aren’t we?

I don’t think I’d ever apologise for music I make, no.

I’m so used to being used. So I love when you call unexpected, Cause I hate when the moment is expected.

I wrote a song with Ed Sheeran that was kind of spontaneous.

I’m the drug in your veins, just fight through the pain.

I ain’t scared of the fall. I’ve felt the ground before.

I ain’t scared of the fall. I’ve felt the ground before.

A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with – a man is what he makes of himself.

The greatest of all contraceptives is affluence.

Christians are made, not born.

I was born lost and take no pleasure in being found.

A man becomes a Christian, he is not born one.

You gotta be hungry for it. You’ve got to put everything you got on it. EVERYTHING! Every second. You have to be the first one in line. That’s how leaders are born.

The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world. The bird flies to God. The God’s name is Abraxas.

And we are put on this earth a little space that we might learn to bear the beams of love.
