I think I should get a bigger between-the-song persona, so then I'm not wandering around the stage like some mad old auntie that's saying hello to people and falling over.

Being heartbroken is like having this really horrible freedom. You can be selfish with your thoughts, which can lead to manic creativity, but at the same time you're just really miserable.

I think I just have a problem generally in life of wanting more of everything - more emotion, more drama, more glitz.

I guess in order to say something to one person, I have to sing it to a couple of thousand. It doesn't make for healthy relationships.

Hands up if you’re ready to do something you’ll regret this weekend. Go forth! You have my blessing.

I always wanted to sound like a man, like Jeff Buckley or Tom Waits.

But I was always much more interested in reading fashion magazines than I was music magazines when I was a teenager. Just that sense of romanticism and escapism and the dream of it has always been quite alluring to me, as well as that sense of becoming a character through clothes.
