Christina Aguilera has her own style, so good on her. I don't think anyone's every told her to put on some leather chaps and get her noonie out. She's an amazing singer but a lot of her music I can't even hear.

I love America, it's a much more permissive place.

I read a lot when I'm travelling and always have a couple of books on the go.

If you play an instrument, it makes you a better singer. The more you play, the better you sing, the more you sing, the better you play.

I've had everything pierced at some point.

I'm not a natural born performer.

I'd like to be remembered as someone who wasn't satisfied with just one level of musicianship ... as someone who was a pioneer.
