It's about how you exist as a person in the world, and the idea that your work is more important than you as a person is a horrible, horrible message.

Alan Cumming

Life, Work, Gay

Jesse Jackson

Life, Moving, Focus

Cover versions, that's my forte, that's all I ever used to do. When you play your own songs, it's quite scary, 'cause I'm quite honest and open, they can be very revealing. But covers, I don't have to think about, just get me up there!
Ellie Goulding

Play, Honest, Used

Ellie Goulding

Women, Live, Quite
