I would say I'm pretty well at ease with my sexuality, but I'm an individual before I am a female.

I mean, I tend to do my own thing, and that usually crosses purposes with everyone around me.

The truth is, I've always been wracked with self-loathing and terrible, paralysing depression.

I want to hear from the creature who isn't blessed with unbelievable good looks and incredible genes. I want to hear from the geek girl, the forgotten girl, the invisible girl and the miserable girl.

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

I wanted to put out a solo record because I was stuck on a major label and sick of it.

I'm 41, I'm a woman, not a kid. I have no interest in making silly pop music.
