I think true romance is dry schizophrenic... but life would be so boring without true love, so I guess you just roll with it.

Every time I make another record and every time I get a year older, I become more and more confident in who I am and more in tune with what I want as a person. I think it's the same for anyone in any walk of life. You just grow with experience and become more confident in exploring new things.

I started writing my own things when I was about 8. I used to try to bully my friends into imitating the Spice Girls on the playground. Then I realized, Oh god, my career's going nowhere, so I looked in the Yellow Pages and phoned up the first cheap studio that I found and started recording.

A good song can make you smile, or it can make you dance or laugh or remind you of a moment.

I'm someone who admires artists like Madonna and David Bowie, who really change their sound drastically between each record.

I can't stand to hear my own voice. If one of my songs comes on in a café, I'll run out right away and come back with the police.

[My mom] worries about me going and taking drugs, whereas my dad advises me on what drugs to take and what ones not to take. So, they're very different.
