I don't agree with this romantic fantasy that people who suffer from depression are more likely to be artists. I find that I am more creative when I am happy actually.

Suicide doesn't solve your problems. It only makes them infinitely, un-countably worse.

When I kissed you, you didn't mind. I thought I tasted of too many cigarettes, but you tasted like wine.

I think people think they're not brave if they're frightened, and that's not true at all.

I grew up in a situation of extreme abuse, but there was no chance to talk about it, so music became the escape if you like.

People often talk about me as a singer, but they don't often talk about you when you're a woman as a songwriter.

I always feel there is a link between music and spirituality.
