Image overshadows reality in our league, and there are people who get to believe they are better than they really are.

I don't consciously do anything to maintain a unique voice.

Instead of the wacky morning show that sounds canned, my team is sitting over there, waiting for me to say something or ask something. And sometimes the reaction is awesome, and sometimes it's...

If my characters travel somewhere, I generally write about a place I know to give the scenes more authenticity.

I can only speak for myself and my own music, because that is what I am most familiar with, and I write about things that I am living or experiencing.

If one could be friendly with women, what a pleasure - the relationship so secret and private compared with relations with men. Why not write about it truthfully?

Skip Marley just a rasta youth who sings from the heart.

When I think of artists I love, like J. Cole, it's the storytelling that grabs me. I want to be honest with my music.

That's what has always been so surprising for The Seekers - when you think they try to create pop stars in a contrived, manufactured way and we were just four people who just happened to meet and sing...

One thing is for sure, for the rest of this career, I will play this game how I want to play it and, while I am not going to disrespect anyone, I am going to voice my opinions.

I don't like something so fantasy-filled that I couldn't imagine it ever happening. I like things that could come true. That's how I conduct the show.

You can't please everyone, nor should you seek to, because then you won't please anyone, least of all yourself.

Philosophically, I don't like doing commercials.

I have never hidden any facts about me, and will shout out my wedding plans off rooftops when it happens.

So often, I go to L.A. and I feel like I'm hanging out with robots. And all they do is sit around and talk about other people. I could run my mouth, but at the same time, if that's all we're doing is...

My country music, it might sound like Hank Williams - that's just the way it is. But I'd rather sound like Hank Williams than Trace Adkins.

If you only share your best pictures, or your Facetuned self, the thought of people seeing you as you truly are can be scary.

I'm always attracted to people who interest me. They've got to be people who are really true to themselves somehow, and who are always trying to do something that makes their life more interesting, or...

I want my brand and Bibi Bourelly to represent honesty.

I'm just the same guy... I don't need to be a celebrity or a superstar.

I don't need to worry about being idolised.

I gave myself the small task of writing honestly about the kind of life I knew. I believe there is some value in carrying out that task, however limited.

I don't want people to think I'm exploiting my followers.

When I see people laughing at my jokes, I feel so special. It is much more important than the fame I have achieved.

You see I found I didn't have to act to be happy.

I would rather perform live than do any kind of lip-synching or something like that. I don't like to lip-synch.

Now very often events are set up for photographers... The weddings are orchestrated about the photographers taking the picture, because if it hasn't been photographed it doesn't really exist.

I have my go-to products. It's hard not to come off very self-promoting, but the truth is, I don't make any product that I don't personally wear. In terms of things I can't live without, my Lock-It...

I didn't feel the need for anonymous affection, for people in the dark applauding. To me, it would be like writing a novel and then getting up every night and reading your novel.
