“Be nice to everyone, always smile, and appreciate things because it could all be gone tomorrow.”

Love can change the world in a moment.

If I ever have any back-up dancers, I want the penguins from Madagascar.

I think I’ve been around for a while. But I still have to pay my dues.

I’m gonna pick up the pieces and build a Lego house. If things go wrong we can knock it down.

Kiss me, like you wanna be loved.

Every night I’ll kiss you you’ll say in my ear, Oh we’re in love aren’t we?

How would you feel, if I told you I loved you? It’s just something that I want to do.

Music is a powerful tool in galvanizing people around an issue. There’s no better way to get your point across than to put it in a beautiful song.

Everyone knows almost everything about me. I make it very clear that I’m cool with people knowing all my personal life through my songs.

You know we are made up of love and hate but both of them are balanced on a razor blade.

I am happy on my own so here I’ll stay. Save your loving arms for a rainy day.

If someone tells you to change yourself, tell them to go fuck themselves.

And tomorrow’s a brand new day.

Pain is only relevant if it still hurts.

Some of my tattoos are a bit silly, but I know where and what time I got them.

I’m quite arty. I didn’t know whether to become an artist or musician but I realised I could paint with music. All my songs have colours.

Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.

Bitter are the roots of study, but how sweet their fruit.

I know what it’s like to feel that fear and the need of affirmation and appreciation. To build confidence in yourself is the toughest thing.

I’ve been so lucky to work with such great people: people that are such hard workers and have such a respect and appreciation for one another.

All that a husband or wife really wants is to be pitied a little, praised a little, and appreciated a little.

My mom modeled and made clothes, so I always had such an appreciation for design.

As the traveler who has once been from home is wiser than he who has never left his own doorstep, so a knowledge of one other culture should sharpen our ability to scrutinize more steadily, to appreciate more lovingly, our own.

The overwhelming number of police officers in Chicago are doing good work under difficult conditions. They put their lives on the line every day in situations none of us can fully comprehend or appreciate.
