“I want to make pop cool again, and the only way I can do that is by being ambitious and grand.”

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.

All ambitions are lawful except those which climb upward on the miseries or credulities of mankind.

Few are more unhappy than those who have great ambition, but little energy to urge it into activity.

We now know most things that can be measured in this world, except the bounds of human ambition!

I don’t have any ambition.

I’ve got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom.

Finally I am coming to the conclusion that my highest ambition is to be what I already I am.

Secret of my success was to have ambition and know minds of men.

Challenge negative forces with hope, self-confidence and conviction. I believe that ambition and initiative will ultimately triumph.
