When I was younger I wish I'd known that what often seemed to be the 'end of the world' often turned out to be a positive and transformative experience!

When you go to Africa, and you see children, they're usually barefoot, dirty and in rags, and they'd love to go to school.

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

The worst thing someone gets is isolated. Isolation is the darkest part of any condition. You can live with almost any condition if you're living within a community of people who can share a common understanding. We create these communities from women who share common conditions, and those mothers carry each other through.

You become really ugly when you become very superficial and self-obsessed.

I like where I live here, in London.

A lot of music you might listen to is pretty vapid, it doesn't always deal with our deeper issues. These are the things I'm interested in now, particularly at my age.
