Feeling like you're respected among the people who do the same thing you do is incredible and necessary.

And I really have done everything that I said I did do. The rest is just a story that somebody else made up.

It's not like I think my art is inspirations from icons strung together. They're just sort of people who others talk about. I am definitely interested in the masters of different genres, they're talented and popular for a reason.

I wanted to be part of a high-class scene of musicians. It was half-inspired because I didn't have many friends, and I was hoping that I would meet people and fall in love and start a community around me, the way they used to do in the '60s.

I've got a war in my mind

My mum and my dad they both like to sing they have really nice voices and my sister and my brother actually they are good singers too. I've been really blessed actually more than most to have a really good people around me.

High heels off; I'm feeling alive.
