I was a big rugby player and into my motocross, so I lost loads of weight and a rumor went around the town that I had picked up a drug addiction!
I don't get pictures taken of me when I leave clubs.
People keep comparing me to people, and I just ignore it.
No one can ever take my job away from me. I can always draw as long as I have a piece of paper and a pencil or paints.
Doctors can predict these things [tumors] just as long as they get access to people.
I do like expressing how I feel about things in my music.
My tumour is a benign pituitary tumour, in the pituitary gland - which is the main hormone centre of the body. It's in the centre of the brain. (Fun fact, [Rene] Descartes thought our consciousness was to be found in the pituitary gland. ) And the thing is, there aren't really many symptoms that show until it's too late.
We need to hold onto that so that people can be told in the right way that they're going through these things [like tumors] early instead of discovering them late. Discovering important health news too late happens far too much.

American liberty is premised on the accountability of free men and women for what they have done, not for what they may do.
I started going blind and my optic nerves of my eye started giving me tunnel vision. I also started fainting a bit and struggling to think. I felt a lot of pressure in my head all the time. That was when it got too much. I'm in a very, very fortunate position now where I've had it taken out once. And now it's back I'm being monitored. I think people at home should be checked for this.
I don't want to date celebrities, I don't want to roll out of clubs absolutely steaming, make an idiot out of myself. I want to concentrate on my music career.
If I'm not busy I start twiddling my thumbs.
