The stage is the place I feel comfortable - it's almost as if real life is where I feel most nervous. Conversations are a lot more nerve-wracking.

For someone so conflicted, who am I to give advice to anybody? It’s such a funny, grandiose idea

You know, people always ask, 'What are you like offstage?' And I always say, 'Well, I'm completely normal and mellow.'

When you're heartbroken, you're at your most creative - you have to channel all your energies into something else to not think about it. Contentment is a creativity killer, but don't worry - I'm very capable of making myself discontented.

I'm down to bleach my eyebrows again. I tell you what, though - that didn't go down well with my boyfriend. Girls love it. Guys, not so into it.

I've learned not to hide behind a veil of irony - to talk about my work in a more honest way.

Touring, and being in a band, it's almost like the other stuff, the other parts of life, get put on hold.
