Music is something that should give you peace.

I don't have a personal Facebook or Twitter account.

I am making good music, and I want people to listen to it.

Fatherhood has changed me and my perspective towards life.

I love India and Mumbai and would love to buy a house here.

I really enjoyed performing there. Dubai is a very rocking place.

People just get to see me onstage, and they don't get whole of me.

I can't force myself to make up a song. Music comes to me naturally.

Talent should always be recognized - no one can keep it; no one owns it.

Insecure people don't stage comebacks, since they don't leave the scene.

Yes, everybody has bullied me. They kept saying I was nasal and what not.

The industry can choose to ignore my work if they want, but my fans won't.

We all die. The goal isn't to live forever. It is to create something that will.

I have never composed a song keeping in mind that I should touch any social issues.

It feels good that a lot of people from Pakistan have had a good experience in India.

When one gets time duration, one becomes very restricted, and hence, creativity suffers.

I don't like controversies. I try to understand where a person comes from and where he is.

If I get an interesting script, I will surely do it. I just don't want to do cliche films.

I don't consider myself to be a great musician, but my first album was a record hit in Pakistan.

I have learnt from experience that being insecure never helps, and neither does pulling anyone's leg.

I don't listen to my songs. The only time I do it is when someone points out a flaw in the end product.

I've been told that my voice is very distinctive. I've been told people feel extremely connected to it.

Personally, I don't think of myself as a style icon. It's basically because the public loves me so much.

My parents keep me grounded. I've spent a lot of time on my own in my life, and I've learnt the hard way.

I have seen really happy people in my life sing really well. Yes, when people get fame, then there's depression.

Most of the songs I've written have painted a picture on how I have evolved, what I see in people, what inspires me.

If you're at the top, people worship you wherever you go. But when you're dying down, it's difficult to sell tickets!

I have a crazy work schedule, I don't eat good food, and I often work through nights, but I am just doing what I love.

I am not inspired by anyone. I don't have any idol. I just follow the people around me and try and learn a few things.

I wanted to try everything. I learnt a lot from playback singing. But at heart, I'm a pop rock singer; I'm a stage performer.

Our parents were very prim and proper, but we always got one toy every day. That was a ritual. The money didn't really matter.

If my music has power, I don't have to hashtag anything. If it has to connect with someone, it will. That has been my experience.

It is very overwhelming to find that you are loved by people belonging to different provinces and cultures. They give me the energy.

I have performed all over the world to packed audiences. I don't have to be a trained musician to prove my singing abilities to my critics.

My intention now, more than anything, is to promote kids and deserving musicians. Because the time I've seen, I want them to see a better one.

I started taking part in college competitions... my first-ever performance with a band was in McDonald's, and I got Rs 500. I still have the note.

The reality television shows are a big hit with the masses with their Bollywood songs. Even if these TV shows are scripted, people are watching them.

I didn't have to express myself to anybody; I would just sing. And most of the times, when I initially used to sing, I used to get scared of my own voice.

People come to me and thank me for being there during their breakups or matchups. It seems awkward, but I'm glad to be of assistance during their light or dark moods.

I've heard legends and maestros praise my voice. It's overwhelming. I'm a nobody who shouldn't be at the receiving end of the such comments, and I'm extremely humbled.

I've sung a lot for the Tauranis in the last six years. Now that my contract with them is over, I'm free to sing for others. If 'Race 3' is made by another producer, I will.

For me, lyrics are the most important thing in a song. And if they don't have meaning, I would never sing them - unless and until someone who loves your work asks me to do so.

I think I've been able to connect with people and their emotions through my songs. I feel honoured that despite having so many talented singers around, my work is always appreciated.

The point of teaming up with American musicians was that there was no better way than that of music to let people from both the sides know what either of them thinks about the other.

I know that out of the thousands of people who show up, maybe nine of them will actually understand what's going on stage, music-wise. But no one should be sitting down in my concert.

Before becoming a father, I wanted to be No.1, but now I feel that there is no such thing. I just want to do my job and entertain as long as I can, because that's the best way to win people over.

In the beginning, it was quite challenging because I had zero acting experience, and delivering dialogues was the most difficult thing for me to do. But after I began to act, I grew as an artiste.

You are thinking about the music, about the mathematics of it. It's time-consuming and energy-consuming at the same time. That's why I take my time off, my family time, as inspirational. I cool off.

To be very honest, my reason for getting away from 'Pepsi Battle of the Bands' was because I was on tour. I wanted to be on tour, and the amount I was asking for, they said that they couldn't pay it.

Making music is what drives me - not awards, not Internet fame, not even exorbitant amounts of money. My fans call themselves 'Aadeez,' and they are the most loyal lot. I make my music for them. I love them.
