I understand it's my role to realize people's dreams. I'm O.K. with that so long as my songs are my own. No one can take my songs away from me.
New York was a relief - not all hierarchical and rule-bound.
I don't have dreams. How can I say it? I myself am a dream.
I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance, that's what I'd do. Or design clothes. I think I'd throw myself into whatever I'm doing now. It's not about abandoning what I was doing before, or giving up. It's about knowing that if I die tomorrow, I lived the way I wanted to.
No matter how far apart we are, don't forget that we're still under the same sky, both traveling to the place we once dreamed of.
If you'd listen, even for a little while I'd be pleased Remember, once more we were born into this world crying. Your dreams and hopes for tomorrow are all in this world.
If there are rules and regulations, I can't help it, I want to break them.
If I write when I'm low, it will be a dark song, but I don't care. I want to be honest with myself at all times.
I'm not a professional; I lack even basic knowledge about writing music.
I understand it's my role to realize people's dreams. I'm O.K. with that so long as my songs are my own. No one can take my songs away from me.
I always like whatever I did most recently. It's the closest to who I am at the moment.
I don't think you should meet the people you most admire. I don't want reality to interfere with my image.
I guess the very first thing is to own your true self, and that includes achieving the point of not lying to others; the first step should be not lying to yourself.
Though my heart is filled with feelings I want to convey You see, I can't express them in words If I had not met you I wouldn't even have such an embarrassing pain
