Know yourself; keep your circle tight. Keep your friends and your work circle tight.
To save your own hair, wigs are literally the way forward.
Every person has a signature. Just some people don't know it yet.
For me, a fragrance is another way of leaving an impression on somebody.
Some people may look at you almost like a fantasy at times, you know; some people don't think you're real. Because people forget that celebrities are humans too, sometimes.
To me, it doesn't matter who you are or where you're from - if you're a good person and you got my back, I got yours.
Women love an honest man. An honest man that isn't afraid to say, 'Men get hurt too.' And a lot of men don't admit that.

I don't think I could do a reality show, no.
All I can do is take influences from where I was raised.
I think I've always been fine on stage - though I get nervous beforehand. But once I'm on stage, all of that goes out of the window.
When it comes down to the music, it's just you and the microphone. It's not you and the record execs.
I don't know what it feels like not to have a great family support system - I was lucky to have that.
Clothes are fun. The designers have so much fun making them, you should have fun wearing them, too.
I'm most scared of failing, of disappointing people.
I have always liked the contrast between being blonde and having dark features.
The worst thing is when a guy just looks awkward. It's not attractive.

I don't really have that many judgements on things, or crazy statements that I feel like I have to put across.
I don't really remember much about Kosovo. I only remember growing up in London, where my parents had to basically start from scratch.
