When I'm in London, I love to visit Kensington gardens and just sit in the park and read a good book.

I like the idea of growing old gracefully and full of wrinkles... like Audrey Hepburn.

Happy songs are very difficult to write. How many truly great upbeat songs are there?

I'm not a nightclub person, but you need to have a social life sometimes.

The success of Torn was a bit too much for me. I took a year off and was still scared to start the second album.

It's good to have to put yourself in someone else's skin. It's all-consuming.

I seem to have very polite fans, not fanatical ones.
