At the end of the day, though, the band members have to be strong. It's down to the individuals in the unit. Listen to me, I'm talking like I'm in the army and this is my squadron.

I'm 45 years old. I used to be a club girl, but that's not my world anymore. That doesn't mean I can't make music that excites. I think it's inspiring to see an artist you grew up with take another crack.

I am a contradictory mess but I see it as my prerogative to change my mood like the weather.

I feel privileged, to be honest.

I don't find any kind of tension very productive, I find it destructive, actually.

I just want to live my life a little freely and not adhere to any schedule - just make music and have fun.

I think young artists are always inspiring because they are coming at worlds from a different point of view.
