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.

Doing comedy is one of the best gifts in life.

First off, no one award-wise ever rewards comedy, which is... whatever. I don't care about that.

I love a good romantic comedy.

I've always thought that Lewis Carroll himself had a certain comedy tinge to him. He was a guy who was a satirist. He really was a social commentator in many ways and was trying to satirize Victorian society.
