“By the time I got writing ‘Halcyon,’ I was on a roll, and I realized I had so much to write about, I realized I had so much built up inside that I couldn’t really alleviate before, and then all of a sudden it was like reservoir burst.”

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

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 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 wrote a lot of poetry that was based on stories of the sea and I was really inspired by that.

The very first song I wrote was about a boy that I was obsessed with.

I always say that the real success of Wine Library wasn’t due to the videos I posted, but to the hours I spent talking to people online afterward, making connections and building relationships.

When a man starts out to build a world, He starts first with himself

Building trust is key to discovering and understanding your buyers’ motives.

The Lord is more anxious to forgive our sins than a woman is to carry her baby out of a burning building.

Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea, God Bless, keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and paid forward for the next kid who comes along.

You won’t ever build your confidence from a perception of lack. For it grows and evolves from realising who you are and what you already have.

We decided that if we get the culture right, most of the stuff, like building a brand around delivering the very best customer service, will just take care of itself.

Goals work. Pick one debt, and then put every dime into paying down that one debt. Once that debt is paid off, start paying down the next debt. Pretty soon it’s time to move from paying debt to building savings.
