My reaction to everything in life is when it gets a bit complicated to water it down and make it simple again.

I definitely tell things at arm's length but that is conscious. No part of me wants everybody to know what's going on.

My songs are not pretty. They're what I call optimistic realism.

I made an important decision, which was to pursue happiness. Rather than accept unhappiness. That's why I'm here, and it's great. I'm in a very good place in my life.

The romanticised life, where all the great poetry and music and art of the world comes from, is great but it requires a lot of self-indulgence.

Womanhood is something you don't consider until it hits you.

I feel sometimes that I'm in a constant state of being lost in translation, and I guess that why I write songs.
