Singing is a f***ing blast. When it’s really good, it’s as good as the best sex. I get nipple erections all the time on stage, I do!

Oh, deeply vulnerable as a woman - to love someone not knowing whether they love me in return.

You are connected to something very much larger than yourself. And that's a beautiful thing.

What if God was one of us, just a slob like one of us?

It's very reassuring and spiritual to be connected with something larger than yourself and the inside of your own head.

If you're stuck in a situation that's painful or there's something that makes you angry, it can enable you to step back from your own experience of it and realize that this is just a part of what it is to be human. It can allow you to accept it a little bit more and make you feel like it's less unfair.

Even if I'm doing a show and there's five people in the audience and the sound system is terrible - I mean, it's been a while but I've certainly done those kind of shows where it's just every conceivable thing is against you - you still have music. It's still something that's real whether there's five people in the audience or a hundred thousand people in the audience. And that's always been there for me.
