Working with other artists and sharing your passions is great.

I'd always been quite quiet growing up, and singing was a way of having a voice.

People would ask me, "what do you want to be when you're older?" and I'd be like, "a singer," and they'd be like, "what do you really want to be?" and I'd be like, "oh, I really want to be a singer."

Fear and pain and suffering is not OK for any being to feel intentionally at the hands of us.

I don't get involved in record label politics.

I think when people see that you are shy, or even just calm, collected and reserved, they think you can be pushed around, made to do everything they want - but that's definitely not true of me. The people closest to me know that's not the case. They know I'm not a pushover.

I suffer from arachnophobia. I don't mind the tiny spiders so much, it's the ones with their legs covered in thick hair.
