In a sense, the music business and I haven't always been the best of bedfellows. Artists often have to fight their corner. Your music goes through these filters of record labels and media, and you're hoping you'll find someone who'll help you get your work into the world.

Fame for fame's sake is toxic - some people want that, with no boundaries. It's unhealthy.

I don't want to be owned by a corporation and obliged to make a certain type of album. I want to be free.

For me, pointing and clicking my phone is absolutely fine. People say that isn't the art of photography but I don't agree.

Most women are dissatisfied with their appearance - it's the stuff that fuels the beauty and fashion industries.

Making a Christmas album is looked upon by some people as the thing you do when you are heading towards retirement.

You just decide what your values are in life and what you are going to do, and then you feel like you count, and that makes life worth living. It makes my life meaningful.
