I don't take myself as seriously as some people think, and I'd hate anyone to think I was preaching. That's the last thing I want.

Music is an extraordinary vehicle for expressing emotion - very powerful emotions. That's what draws millions of people towards it. And, um, I found myself always going for these darker places and - people identify with that.

If you want to open a supermarket chain and put your face all around the globe, selling your baby and your dog, if it makes you happy, who am I to disagree, as the song goes. But it's not for me. I've always tried to keep my integrity and keep my autonomy.

I have a lot to be grateful for.

If people like your music, you can't guarantee they're going to love you.

I have always felt a little homeless. It's a strange thing.

Whatever you do, you do out of a passion.
