Well, I don't really concern myself too much with what other people make of my work.

Ever since time began: What song is not about love? Whether it's about love from man to woman or parent to child, or grandmother to granddaughter... It just goes on and on. Or whether it's the love of one's country.

It's good to feel excited by the environment you're in.

I'm a visual artist myself and always have been so it's very natural for me to be very concerned with presentation, whether it's artwork or onstage.

I see men come and go, but there'll be one who'll collect my soul.

Maybe I'm just purely lucky. If I've come up against obstacles I've always found another way around it.

The way I make music is unique to myself and the way I have lived my life - no one else would tell that story in the same way that I do.
