Each time I changed, it was as if, on purpose, I didn’t want anyone to know too much about me, which of course now I regret, because I closed myself to everything. But it was my way of dealing with things.

Before I started touring, I worked with someone to help me, even physically, because I was so shy. And you can't be shy going onstage. So I had to push myself in a direction that wasn't myself.

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 don't have a career plan. I've never done that. Things happen accidentally and I've been lucky.

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

Wanting to do it was much more powerful than the fright.

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