I'm sick of being self-referential. I don't want to do any more songs that can be accused of being personal.

I never like photos of myself in the beginning. I live with them for three months, put them in a drawer, take them out and look again. I hate the way I look, but of course it's really not that bad.

The way I choose to show my feelings is through my songs.

I've learnt to accept what has happened to my voice, I suppose, but I do wish it didn't sound quite so rough.

My happiness is very fragile.

I've got to where I've always wanted to be. I just feel more myself, and I've learned not to care what other people think. It's happened slowly, very slowly. But I did it.

I never trusted anybody at all. I don't know why it was so hard, I just didn't.

I do have a strong sense of God. It's impossible to explain what I mean when I say that, of course.

I got my interest in Lotte Lenya and the Brecht-Weill canon from my parents. And I love classical music - I got that from my parents. I love Cole Porter - that I got from my dad.

Rebellion is the only thing that keeps you alive!
