Having a soul, they say, is like taking sadness and turning it into something beautiful.

I wanted to be a witch when I was a kid. I was obsessed with witchcraft. At school, me and my two friends had these spell books; I always wanted a more magical reality. I had a little shrine at home and I did a spell to try and make the boy in the other class fall in love with me.

I always seem to feel that everything is about to cave in on me. I think that maybe music is my protection from that and in some senses it's an outlet to turn it into something euphoric: embracing the eventual decline.

The stage is a place where I can be wholly myself. Even though you're in front of people almost to be judged, it is a place without judgement.

On stage, you can use your emotions. It's the place where you can channel them. They have a purpose.

Look, if Givenchy is going to lend you a dress, I'm not going to turn it down. I would wear that dress to just go out and buy a pint of milk if they would lend it to me.

Maybe in music you're making an auditory environment and maybe you change your environment around you to suit your own way.
