Anybody knows, you can conjure anything by the dark of the moon

You know that saying, bad things don't happen to good people? That's a lie.

Everybody told me this 'girl on the piano' thing was never going to work.

My husband doesn't know what my songs are about - even when they're about him. He's very British in that way. He doesn't ask, and he doesn't want to be told.

My father was strict, but he recognised my ability and got a lot of flak from the church for supporting me.

You know when people smile too much? It's painful. I find it really painful. Happy is not very reliable. I'm trying to live like, um, with a fierce calm.

A guitarist or a drummer can get a cold and still play; I get a cold and sound like a wet mitten trying to sing you a love song. Charming.
