I have always had a good functioning in my artistic life, but I had problems mostly in my private life, I got very angry with my boyfriends and stuff...I would probably have good reasons to be angry but the volume would be too high, just getting to some level of wounding that perhaps was not appropriate to the actual offence committed.

My creative process is quite slow. I hear melodies in my head while I'm washing the dishes and I allow my subconscious to do the work.

I could stand in the street and sing and get enough to pay the bills. I don't need millions of dollars.

You can't have a church run by people who don't believe in God.

You can't solve a spiritual problem with politics. You may as well as throw the Parliament to a drowning man.

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.

I feel that I was a useful contributor to society, and that I couldn't be a contributor to society in any other way.
