It has very little to do with my work, but if your image is not sexy enough, people won't listen. It's part of the game.

That sense of failure, I don't know where people put it who don't write songs and aren't able to emote physically. It must go somewhere.

It's never easy to write a song. It's the most difficult thing I do.

I think you can get the wrong impression about me from my work and think I'm always a bit down. I'm not that way at all. I'm fun-loving.

I've spent too many years at war with myself, the doctor has told me it's not good for my health.

It's a big enough umbrella, but it's always me that ends up getting wet.

I think I'm a focus for international attention.
