It’s nice to be able to try and build the life you want for yourself.

I believe in the person I want to become.

When you're an introvert like me and you've been lonely for a while, and then you find someone who understands you, you become really attached to them. It's a real release.

When I was younger I felt lonely... In terms of my thought processes. I had the constant feeling that I thought differently to everyone around me. So, I suppose I felt lonely for a home. I didn't know where I wanted to be, but I knew I wasn't there yet.

If you are born an artist, you have no choice but to fight to stay an artist.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger is so not true. You know what makes you stronger? When people treat you & your art with dignity.

When I found somebody who I fell in love with, it made me feel different than I felt the rest of the day. It was electrifying. That's what inspired the 'Off to the Races' melodies. That's one of the times when you're feeling electrified by someone else and they make you happy to be alive.
