So I try not to have any actual expectations for myself for any level of success or failure.

I try to not focus on what people expect from me.

I feel in my own life I've made many mistakes. I've failed in many directions.

When I look back at my past mistakes, I realise that there were times when I wasn't myself, and that's why certain styles did not work well for me.

I think people tend to see the bigger point, which is maybe not fitting in and feeling like you didn't have the childhood that you expected you would have, or that you felt lonely or struggled with drugs and alcohol or just that you were able to achieve your dreams.

You learn your lessons from the mistakes you make, not the things you achieve.

It's almost like the better I do, the more my feeling of inadequacy actually increases, because I'm just going, 'Any moment, someone's going to find out I'm a total fraud, and that I don't deserve any of what I've achieved. I can't possibly live up to what everyone thinks I am and what everyone's expectations of me are.'

There's a time in your life where you're not quite sure where you are. You think everything's perfect, but it's not perfect... Then one day you wake up and you can't quite picture yourself in the situation you're in. But the secret is, if you can picture yourself doing anything in life, you can do it.

I do have high standards. I look at everything I have done and think, 'Why wasn't that better?' Part of my motivation is from crippling self-doubt - I have got to prove myself wrong.

There's a discrepancy between what you think you are and what other people think you are.
