I get to sit at home with the dogs on the sofa, record in a closet in the office, send them off and, if I'm lucky, make a million dollars.

I've got thick skin and an elastic heart.

When I was 10, my parents really valued success in the arts, and I thought if I was a famous 'something artistic,' that they would love me more.

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.

There are probably five songs in the world that I get excited about when I hear them on the radio.

Fame made me develop a panic disorder.

It was really shocking to me that when I was dating a dude I could get married and my taxes were 8 grand less, blah blah blah.
