I can't read music and I'm crap at learning lyrics. Especially since the accident I have memory problems. I can't remember words, names, places.

I've got so much I want to do, and not a lot of time to do it in. People say to me, "You really shouldn't do so many records", because it actually harms your career.

I'm always more interested in trying things that will push me, and I don't care if I fall flat on my face doing it.

We just kind saw the images and knew the cliches, so to have the opportunity to go there and learn something about Russian music and about Russian people and to see things apart from being a tourist.

I'm the most indecisive person in the world. I'll do three versions of a song, then think, "Is the demo better?"

I was very much a mess, as a person. I'd come from a very turbulent teenage life, with parents who had broken up in a very bad way, and a lot of illness at school.

Russians have a new freedom, but as long as they don't express that freedom on a public platform.
