Art keeps me alive. I've obviously been devastated or heartbroken all my life, since my mother's death.

To be brave is to love unconditionally without expecting anything in return.

Deep in my heart I'm concealing things that I'm longing to say. Scared to confess what I'm feeling - frightened you'll slip away.

Making records is not how it used to be! #stillwerking

Freedom comes when you learn to let go, creation comes when you learn to say 'no'

I don't think anyone strives to be anything negative. I just think that it's our nature to only focus on a few things in life and forget about a lot of other stuff.

I was working with Toby Gad, who spent a lot of time in India. There's a sitar [in "Body Shop"] and the song has a very Indian flavor to it. I liked the idea of the body of a car as a kind of sexual metaphor - What you do to a car, what you do in a car - drive. So, lots of innuendos, and lots of fun.
