It was very liberating to be able to sing in English. It had a different resonance, different images. It was like being a stranger in a foreign land, which was helpful.

I didn't want to change my personality onstage, but I still had to build some kind of ego to be able to go up there. If not, there's no point.

I'd love to be able to write again, but I'm so repetitive. And it was all about fear. Never positive. Just indulgent about my sadness.

I hated seeing myself on screen. I was full of complexes. I hated my face for a very, very long time.

It's more than a job. It's very personal, so when you're hurt, you're really hurt inside.

I wasn't getting the responses I hoped for. You can't protect yourself from other judgments.

When you love someone, you don't want them to suffer at all.
