I don't think 'pop' should mean that you had no talent.

I think it's somewhere in my head, in my travel space, and it just comes out. It's a visual thing that happens unintentionally. People will tell me, "You do realize you just spoke with that accent, right?" And I'll go, "Oh, did I?" So it's not something I think about. As we talk, I have a visual about my speech and it just comes out like that. If that makes any sense!

I never thought I was going to be a singer. That was an accident.

I don't know what I'm going to be doing in two years or even in two weeks. I have to live for today.

I like to isolate myself when I work because I end up losing my voice by doing interviews all day.

I don't collaborate. You're born alone, you die alone, you get on stage alone.

I loved all those classic figures from the '30s and '40s... Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Humphrey Bogart, Rita Hayworth. They had such glamour and style. I loved the movies of those times too - so much attention paid to details, lights, clothing, the way the studios would develop talent.
