The sooner you learn to finish things, and as a matter of course finish your creative endeavors, the better. It took me a long time to learn that.

It took me a long time to realize you don't choose what you're famous for.

It took me a long time to be alright with smiling onstage.

It took me a long, long time to break the chains that's inside me.

The main thing I've learned is that we all have to learn to work with - and appreciate - the brain we've been given, and not waste time wishing things were easier.

It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.
