Crying is really bad for your vocal cords.

I won't let you close enough to hurt me.

I no longer buy papers or tabloids or magazines or read blogs. I used to. But it was just filling up my day with hatred.

Music isn`t for the eyes, it`s for the ears

In the songs I can still be really really direct but in interviews when I'm explaining my songs I shouldn't be so direct about who they're about.

Americans are always mortified when I tell them this, but in England, it's a tradition to put your plaques and photographs and awards and gold records and stuff in your bathroom. I don't know why.

I doubt I'll be singing forever, because at some point people aren't going to want to hear my music, and I hope that I'll still get the opportunity to write songs.
