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.

It's when someone has an agenda of their own for the record that it doesn't work for me.

When I'm off the road, my husband and I recharge our batteries. It's a day of deep rest and connection with the spiritual, and that can be anything - going for a walk in nature, being in silence, burning incense.

All I can promise myself and everyone else is that this record is a snapshot of thisperiod in my life. It will be that by default.

I just feel compelled to continue to be transparent. It just really levels the playing field and eradicates the shame that I have, or that one might have, about being human. So I'm going to just keep going.

The more vulnerable and the more confused the song is, the equal and opposite effect is how I feel after having written it.

Some of the most beautiful things that have happened to me in my life have been things that I couldn't explain.
