A musician is a professional, whether he or she is successful or not. The profession itself must be regarded as a stable job.

I think music, in my opinion, is not about motivation in the way it's - it's not a running base. It's art. And my whole philosophy of music is different. It's almost like cooking and serving to people, seeing them smile and enjoying the food, really.

I divide criticism into two categories - one coming from those who understand music, who are worthy of being critical because they are knowledgeable about what they are saying; and then there is another category of people who would criticise you anyway, whether your work is good or bad.

While my mother wanted me to be a musician, I wanted to become an electronic engineer.

I just can't talk about things before I do them, because just for me... I give energy away before I've put energy into the job.

My whole journey and career has been really interesting, but the one element it never really had was any sense of great momentum.

It's our job as marketers and brand professionals to nurture the brand and calm it down when it's angry and to encourage when it's trying to grow.

I won't take my religion from any man who never works except with his mouth.
