A lot of people these days are not music lovers - they just want to be famous which is a very different thing to what I grew up believing in.

My solo album is dead and buried. We had the funeral. It was sad and I cried a lot but it made such a beautiful corpse that we had an open casket.

We should never listen to our feelings. They lead us astray.

If you have any opinions at all or if you're even remotely verbal then they're going to call you fiery.

I am naive. I make mistakes - But I don't give a rat's arse how I am perceived!

I had taken some of my solo music into the record label. They didn't really care for the direction I was moving in and I found it really disheartening. They wanted a pop hit, which I understand in terms of making money. I get that. But what they were going to ask of me was something I wasn't prepared to deliver and I felt kind of trapped. I just stopped writing. I just stopped. It was stifling.

I'm afraid of happy people. They're chemically unbalanced.
