Like when I'm singing live I can't hear myself. I'm just listening to the rest of the band. To listen to my voice, it doesn't even feel like it's me.

I'll be the songwriter for pop stars and then they can be the front person and I don't have to be famous.

I'm 39, and I would like to be able to make great pop music for another 20 years. And it feels like creating a sort of inanimate blond bob and allowing other people to play the role of the pop singer, it affords me a little bit more freedom in terms of my expiration date.

I was born pretty lucky, an Aryan Australian, friendly girl, that gives you a lot of advantages in the world. I was unaware of people's fights or struggles for equality. I was really naive.

I love watching reality TV, but being part of making it was just demoralizing.

Being hunted, paparazzi-style , doesn't appeal to me.

I don't know anything about the history of music.
