If anything, I want to be seen as a singer-songwriter rather than a pop artist.

I think if you're a good songwriter, that's what you are first - not a star or celebrity.

For me, it's never been about being famous. I just want to be a successful singer. I wanna work hard... If I'm in the papers, grace, but I want to be there for the right reasons - for my music.

I'm not striving for fame, that's for sure. I don't particularly like the idea of celebrity. I would like to be successful with my music, so I realise that there's a balance to be made there.

I don't see myself as a pop star, just a singer.

I know I'm a pop star. But sometime I'd like to be a rock star.

I know I'm never going to be a big pop star, because I'm not willing to conform.

I'm sure there will come a time when I won't be able to, you know, walk around so easy sometimes, or it's just things that I don't necessarily want. I don't really necessarily want to be famous.

I want to be an artist. I don't want to be a celebrity.

I want to be the number one songwriter-producer guy of all time.
