I feel like I've always had gay fans, I don't think my dating a woman has changed my demographic, but it certainly changed the way I feel about politics.

I think it would be very difficult to maintain one kind of art or whatever for your whole life. I think it's unrealistic.

I think that it depends what you mean by successful. If you mean 'make money' you need to be part of the machine unless you're one of those superhuman people who can do everything by yourself, and have workaholic tendencies and really good advisers and a good investor.

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.

I'm a fan of the Strokes, so my big fantasy was that one day I would get to sing with them.

I liked when I was naive and I thought it was just about making good music.

I just want to make a beautiful film. I've had it in my head for so long, so I want to try. Every now and again I get scared. And that's not really how I operate in songwriting or as Sia the artist, the singer. I don't operate from a place of fear. But this is such a new area for me. I still have some insecurity. So, like, once a week I get washed from the top of my skull down to my toes with this vomitous feeling of fear. I think, "Just don't do it. You don't have to do it. You're already a singer and a songwriter. Really, you don't have to make a movie.".
