Singers attract fans with aspects of their own personality. People feel I'm passionate and obsessive. They know this isn't a profession for me, it's a vocation. It's not an egotistical thing, but something else. I'm in a dialogue with my audience, and that's something I need

I am stuck in the dream of an album that sells well not because of marketing, but because people like the songs.

It's the refuge for the mentally deficient. It's made by dull people for dull people.

I'm tired again, I've tried again, and now my heart is full. And I just can't explain...so I won't even try to.

I am still my teenage self. If you think that we all step through a door marked Adult, or that we sign a Grown-Up Document, you’re quite wrong. We remain as we always were, and that, alas, is one of life’s many nasty tricks.

I find that it isn't wise to attempt to judge people on their public persona, and even on the music they make. Because I've met so many people whose music I cannot stand, and they're very nice. At the same time, I've met people whose music I've loved, and they're not the person you've invested all this emotion in.

I do think it's possible to go through life and never fall in love, or find someone who loves you.
