I pull you from your tower, take away your pain. Show you all the beauty you possess, if you only let yourself believe.

There's beauty everywhere. There are amazing things happening everywhere, you just have to be able to open your eyes and witness it. Some days, that's harder than others.

I didn't get hugely famous really quick. It was a slow, gradual process, so I was able to sort of grow into myself and figure out who I was and what I wanted without the glaring spotlight on me telling me who I was.

I'm not one to sit and wallow - I would rather figure out a way around so I can move past it and be at peace with things. I don't like bad feelings gnawing away at me.

It's an amazing luxury to say I'm 31 years old and I'm gonna take a year off. That's pretty amazing.
