“I try to stick to a certain diet all the time, and then when I feel like a reward, I have it. I try to stick to no dairy, no sugar, no wheat.”

Compared to a lot of artists, I’m usually quite covered up in videos and photo shoots.

Working with Terry Gilliam was magic – I’ve been watching his films since I was little.

I wish I was more stupid because I’m either completely ecstatic and joyous and absolutely high as a kite or I’m a bit morbid. There’s never anything in between.

I feel quite excited about the possibility of working on multiple albums. There’s something really iconic about having a catalog featuring a lot of albums, and I’d love to have that legacy.

I like not to feel that all my eggs are in one basket, or I get nervous.

Celebrity culture is an aspirational culture regardless of how much you don’t want it to be.

I don’t normally have time to read, so when I go away I like to take a few books.

I’m not one for sightseeing or going around the shops when I’m on holiday. I do enough shopping when I’m at home, and like to have a complete break when I’m away.

I believe in life you need to always ask for everything politely and nicely, and then if they say no you do what you wanted to do anyway

I’m really into food; it’s one of my favourite things – everything from potato waffles to lobster.

I don’t connect much with the present. I have more of an affinity for what came in the past.

You cannot schedule death.

It’s amazing living alone. I’m very lucky. It’s like a refuge.

I’m the type of person who, if somebody offers me a free meal, I get excited because you never know where your next free meal is going to come from.

If I go out with no make-up and a tracksuit on, nobody comes up to me. And if they do, I won’t do a photo because I wouldn’t want any photographic evidence.

I love interesting people with eccentric stories and outsiders of the world.

Longing, felt fully, carries us to belonging.

Music isn’t just heard, it is felt.

When a man feels throbbing within him the power to do what he undertakes as well as it can possibly be done, this is happiness, this is success.

Gratitude creates the most wonderful feeling. It can resolve disputes. It can strengthen friendships. And it makes us better men and women.

The Highest Thought is always that thought which contains joy. The Clearest Words are those words which contain truth. The Grandest Feeling is that feeling which you call love.

A mood can be a dangerous state of mind, because it can crush reason under the weight of feeling.

I release any feelings of competition or comparison. I simply do my best and enjoy being me.

On the earth at the same time kind of vibe.
