I think that anytime that you can open your eyes and see all that you have and all that you've been blessed with, it's the greatest way to connect you with God, just being grateful rather than always wanting more, wanting to be different, wanting to be better. ”

Once I finish something, if I don't feel that it's absolutely fabulous, there's no way I would ever let it be recorded, I wouldn't even present it to a producer. ”

I'm a Bipolar 1, Rapid Cycler. So really easily, if I'm around people that are sick and are not medicated, and there's a lot of people going to AA that should be medicated that are really, truly mentally ill, then I end up being triggered. ”

I know what makes me connect to my music - it is knowing that I am not alone in my feelings and my thoughts. ”

I always think that you should never, ever force a producer to do something with a song that they don't think they can do something fantastic with, I think it's a stupid idea to force it, even if you think it's your best song. ”

I always kind of say to people, don't believe the hype. You are never as good as what they say; you are never as bad, and remember that you do it just to make you happy and to enjoy it. ”

I like swimming or go to the gym, but I am alone a lot, and that can get a little depressing. ”

If you're going to go the way of 'American Idol,' then you better be able to do what you want musically, because just going for the fame will only keep you happy for so long. ”

For any performer who's coming up, if they really want to test their psychology and how they handle themselves on stage, then coming to the U.K. as a whole is a wonderful place for that. ”

I've been in therapy since I was five, but music goes way, way, way, way, way beyond therapy. ”
