I've lived a very colorful life, and I've said some things, But not once have I taken them back, and I've never apologized for them - and I won't.
I'm going to continue to speak my mind in the way that I do.
I'm not not going to stop giving away what I feel about something.
I have this propensity to just come out and say things. That's how I am in real life.
I can say whatever I want. I will be nothing but unfiltered with my audience.
How terrible would it have been if I had come out with some watered-down version of who I am? People fell in love with the real me, and I still feel blessed that that was how the journey began.
I write about things and put things into my albums that I don't talk to people about. I don't hold back or sugarcoat anything.
Sometimes I might say controversial stuff, but it's all Darren Till, and that's the truth.
I think what people respond to, and what they're responding to so strongly, is I'm very myself on stage. What you see in person is very much who I am on stage.
Existing outside of irony is so hard.
Sometimes, I feel the reason I have become a star beyond my films is that I am politically incorrect.
I pull no punches!
The writer, when he is also an artist, is someone who admits what others don't dare reveal.
I shall stick to my resolution of writing always what I think no matter whom it offends.
In all the writers I admire, the common detonator is their courage to walk naked.
The songs that I like are the ones that you can't visualize, that are just cries from the heart - those very straight, direct songs that make rock & roll music so wonderful.
Tell the story that's in your heart, and don't hold back. Write a book the reader will want to melt into.
I'm not afraid to say it - I'm proud to be from a nation that wears its heart on its sleeve and isn't scared to show its feelings.
My candor has gotten me in a lot of trouble over the years!
Everything I put on stage is real; that's what my life is. My emotions - I wear them on my sleeve. I'm definitely putting my heart out there when I'm on stage.
New Yorkers love it when you spill your guts out there. Spill your guts at Wimbledon and they make you stop and clean it up.
I don't add any deliberate nuances to the way I sing. I've seen so much and been all over the world, but I'm glued to my roots, and that comes across.
I do not write for the reader to come, but for him who is here, short of reading the text on my shoulder.
If you have what you want to say inside, and if you are crying for something that is true inside, it doesn't matter. The camera always sees it.
I don't set out to offend or shock, but I also don't do anything to avoid it.
