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

I am laughably aggressive, and the rest of the band is very laid back, so we mix well.

Starbucks is my main fix and it's usually you people working in there - sometimes they're actually shaking. It just makes me feel horrendous because I've been in that situation.

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

Here am I. I'm 38. My career's probably never been better. And I've made a decision which may or may not impact on it - I refuse to hide my experience and my age, as if it's something I should be ashamed of. I'm alive. I know lots of people who've never been lucky enough to get to this stage in their life. And I'm not gonna hide it for anybody.

No, I like being a role model because I know how much comfort my musical idols brought me.

I have a temper on me that could hold back tides.
