To whom do I owe the first apology? No one's been crueler than I've been to me.

It's not just the 'Grammys' that I've pulled out of. I also pulled out of the English awards as well. The reason that I wanted to pull out was because I believe very much that the music industry as a whole is mainly concerned with material success.

Long hair is a security blanket for me. I cut it short a few years ago and I really never want to do that again. When I do cut it, I cut it myself.

When I start writing songs and it turns into an overly belabored intellectual process, I just throw it out.

It's exciting for people to define who they are in relation to what I write - whether it be by loving or hating it.

I'm sad, but I'm laughing.

Once I know who I'm not, then I'll know who I am.
