I questioned everything about music. I think it's a strange thing standing on a stage and making music. I just questioned it always: What's music? What's the meaning of it?
Music is for making people happy, lyrics tell them who they are. Everybody is free to interpret the music, as they want. The lyrics of my songs are about different things, but it's all about my issues.
I love music so much that I have to try to make my own music. And not copy music. If I hear a song that I love - how is the groove and how is the beat and what is the feeling of this? - I can make it my own. So then I try, and I watch it become something totally different. But that's the way I have to do it.
I'm inspired to keep on when people like what I do.

There are still places to go, there are still dinners, there are still parties, and you can still get dressed up. That's part of having fun in fashion.
We want more people owning things in this country. (Applause. ) Let me put it to you bluntly: In a changing world, we want more people to have control over your own life.
