Obviously, getting a number in the charts is a nice thing but the cherry on the cake rather than the main cake.

My hair is naturally super curly. But I really don't do so much to it. I just sleep on it and see what happens.

I try to get through emotional pain and not go around it, it always ends sooner that way. I also use chocolate.

Imagine all the people, living life in peace. Well, that's hard to do when you're on this blood stained street.

My songwriting, when I'm writing, is nothing like it is in its finished form - but you have to start somewhere.

I truly believe that if you put your goals in writing, speak them out loud and work for them, they will happen.

Growing up, I listened to a lot of Queen and Lauryn Hill because of my dad. Those are songs that have messages.

My dad didn't like staying in one place, so we moved around every year - to a new house, new town, new country.

No-one wants to hear anything spoken in earnest anymore, unless it happens to involve unrequited, teenage love.

I want to be the first Conor Maynard. I think I want to have a successful career that is unique in its own way.

The sea, the majestic sea, breaks everything, crushes everything, cleans everything, takes everything...from me

My number one thing to work on is not being reactive - but appropriateness doesn't come easily to me sometimes.

That's the beauty with music in the digital age: you're always one follow away from experiencing something new.

I want to keep a thread between the studio and the stage, and I want to flow more easily from one to the other.

But where do we come up with this notion of a woman in which the less space you take up, the more you're worth?

I was raised by parents who really admired the religious leaders of the left, as many 60s and 70s liberals did.

It's me! It's me! It's always me! [Darren when asked who smelled so good at the MTV Live interview in New York]

Styx was always a theatrical band. In fact, we played City Center in 1983 with a rock opera, 'Kilroy Was Here.'

The first paid show was in Los Angeles at an art opening and I was paid maybe, I don't know, twenty five bucks?

I love shopping for shoes. I'm a big shoe-lover. Shopping is definitely something that I do on a regular basis.

Not only is fur cruel, it's also totally gross. I mean, who wants to wear the skin of an abused animal? Not me!

I still believe in Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and true love. Don't even try to tell me different.

I love Indian, Italian and Mexican food. And if it's a romantic type of thing, I like a good French restaurant.

I realized that I had a serious problem with depression, and I went to a doctor and he gave me some medication.

Film acting has been a very pure experience, because you have to give the purest form of yourself as an artist.

Men are wary of me because they know, by listening to my music, that a relationship with me will be quite deep.

Marvin Gaye is one of my favorite revolutionaries. He spoke from his heart, his mind. That's what I want to do.

I love rom-coms. Any will do. Films such as 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days' or 'Funny Face' with Audrey Hepburn.

Kanye West is my older brother, an inspiring guy and someone who keeps pushing my level up further and further.

Men scream and go crazy in the gym. I'm a silent workout partner, but when my adrenaline gets up, I talk trash.

I would of course like to think I've never done a truly despicable thing, but then again you don't always know.

A dream is like a river ever changing as it flows and a dreamer's just a vessel that must follow where it goes.

My father gave me a copy of 'Seven Years in Tibet,' and that's what turned me on to Tibet and Tibetan Buddhism.

I was so afraid of upsetting people, and not being liked for saying something that was not to everyone's taste.

I have the most ridiculous TV crush on Michael McIntyre. I fell in love watching him on 'Britain's Got Talent'.

Later in life, the memories I have of my mother are of constant work balanced with caring for my ailing father.

You know, it's funny how songs continue to grow and evolve and become a new and deeper reflection of your life.

I think it's possible to be a great mother and have a successful career. I like that more women are doing this.

We all have to go through hard times. Tragedies. Those are given to us to see what we're going to do with them.

I love that contradiction of being feminine but playing in the boys' treehouse. My whole life's been like that.

I have to tell everyone everything that's going on. It is different once you're married, because that's sacred.

Working with (new collaborators) and letting people in to try new melodies and new lyrical ideas was very hard.

I love Vivienne Westwood. So much. Every time I go to London, first thing I do is go in there. It's ridiculous!

Don't worry about what others think about you; worry about what they think of themselves when they're with you.

I've been told I'm an old soul, but I'm only 25. I have the old with the new in me, and my house reflects that.

Cafe society is as old as the hills. Starbucks and its imitators are the coffee face of the new man in a hurry.

Sex, drugs, and rock and roll is all my brain and body need. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll is very good indeed.

The thing that makes me feel most alive is knowing that there's something that I have to do that I'm afraid of.

Telling yourself you have all the time in the world, all the colors in the palette, that just kills creativity.

I'm sensitive, you know, about some things, and as some of my partners could attest to, incredibly insensitive.
