I mean, the thought of someone spending $20 to come and see me and saying 'Oh, I prefer the record and she's completely shattered the illusion' really upsets me. It's such a big deal that people come give me their time.

So is it over is this really it You've given up so easily I thought you loved me more than this

I don't care if you're black, white, short, tall, skinny, rich or poor. If you respect me I'll respect you

I've never seen magazine covers and seen music videos and been like I need to look like that if I want to be a success. Never. I don't want to be some skinny mini with my tits out. I really don't want to do it. And I don't want people confusing what it is that I'm about.

I would only lose weight if it affected my health or sex life, which it doesn't.

I wouldn’t be able to write a song like “Someone Like You” and get someone else to sing it because it’s so personal. It’s like giving away your heart.

I want to leave an album behind that is classic, that people in 50 years will refer to and pass on to their children. An album that you never bored of.
