I want to be happy. i want to make people happy. i do not need to be rich to do that.

I suppose I'm happy to sell my time and energy, but I'm not happy to sell my initial creative time.

I have never in my career embarked on a journey towards controversy. I have never deliberately set a flame.

Life as it should be: all friends, all art, all music, all love, all the time.

Twitter fascinates me because it's real. It feels kind of unreal, but it makes very real things happen.

I think the Internet really sussed things into perspective. Because twelve years ago, I could spend my days on writing and running my band and touring and making posters and practicing with my band and working on my vocals, but I didn't spend a large pie chart of my time sifting through criticism as well, and nowadays I do, and all female artists do, because to be able to promote your work, you need to live in those spaces.

I'm bisexual, but it's not the sort of thing I spent a lot of time thinking about. I've slept with girls; I've slept with guys, so I guess that's what they call it! I'm not anti trying to use language to simplify our lives.
