“Style is very different from fashion. Once you find something that works, keep it.”

British people still wear clothes. By clothes I mean actual clothes: jackets and shirts and ties and suits. English men make an effort. We’ve lost that in the US. Everyone is more concerned with being comfortable.

A film should be somewhat personal. I think that whatever you create you have to be true to yourself and create something that feels right to you.

I understand that I have a certain look that can be used to my advantage. I know the power of that when I walk into a room and talk to people, and I can use it as an advertising tool. Now I am actually selling me, my face, my thoughts. So I am my guy.

If I’m sending emails, and I get all wound up and stressed and don’t know what to do with myself for 20 minutes, I just go soak in hot water and lie there, thinking, ‘What should I do?’ So it’s meditative.

I am one of those people who isn’t great at anything, but I’m pretty good at most things.

It’s really never fair to judge people because none of us know what’s going on inside anyone else’s head.

I believe that when you really want to do something, you should go ahead and do it. I mean, I feel fear, but I never let that stop me.

The seventies is what I love. Soft, touchable beauty is what I love.

It’s hard not to be sexy in a pair of high heels.

What is important is that we stop and realize, “Okay. This is fine. I can enjoy that. But what is really important, what I’m really going to take away with me from this life, is my connection with other people.

I know one day I’ll be irrelevant. No matter how hard you try there is a cultural moment, but eventually that window’s gone, your time on Earth is finished, and you might as well leave. I could absolutely die tomorrow – I would not care. I feel like I’ve lived, I feel like I’ve had a great life.

Want girls to let you put your fingers in certain places? Get a manicure.

When the youth of America gets together, amazing things happen.

On the one hand, I want to go off and live in the desert with my dog and sculpt things out of adobe.

Perfection is almost an illness with me, but sometimes I have moments where everything is absolutely clear and you can feel, rather than think.

Real fashion change comes from real changes in real life. Everything else is just decoration.

For the first three years, when I was writing, I was doing sessions with a whole bunch of different people all the time every day until I met Lindy Robbins, who kind of mentored me. And then, once you find that, all the pieces come together.

If parts are always changing, the whole remains the same. A dead good man is replaced by a good man, a dead bad man is replaced by a bad man. While the whole remains the same, every day is different.

Just because I’m an artist doesn’t mean I should be treated differently.

I’m pretty excited for people to listen to the story of each song. It’s definitely like a giant book with different stories in it. They are all very child-like but also a balance between light and dark.

I like to be daring and I like to be different. You think anyone out here looks like me? It’s pretty different, right?

A lot of different races and nationalities play football, so it is a good way to try and stop racism.

To become different from what we are, we must have some awareness of what we are.

My style in three words- youthful, sweet, and diverse.
