Music is like a mirror in front of you. You're exposing everything, but surely that's better than suppressing. You have to dig deep and that can be hard for anybody, no matter what profession. I feel that I need to actually push myself to the limit to feel happy with the end result.

I could have been more famous if I did all the glitzy things, but celebrity always seemed so unnecessary.

Look to love and you may dream, and if it should leave then give it wings. But if a love is meant to be, hope is home and the heart is free.

I have had death threats from people with fixations.

My mouth is a womb. My teeth are my children. My tongue is their babysitter.

It's very homely, this castle. It doesn't have huge ballrooms. I didn't want a cold, cavernous place.

When I was growing up, I'd be in the choir. My mum was the organist in the church, so I'd sing in the church.
