I had a very strict upbringing with my dad and was very close to my mum, who was extremely loving.

Sometimes it seems like we're closer to our manicurists than we are our own souls. We have to find ways to get in touch with that and to listen to it and to hear it.

I think even in a good marriage, especially if you stay together long enough, there are going to be events that happen.

There's a side to this industry that nurtures divas who can't write. It's a big business.

I am finding that vulnerability gives me great strength, because you're not hiding anymore. It's really about being a pioneer for myself, going into the places where I am not being taught. I have to teach myself.

I do believe that we all are, fundamentally, divided creatures. Emotions split from intellect, spirit from flesh and far too often sexuality is disconnected from what we feel, and are, as total human beings. But how, for example, can anyone have an understanding of the virgin if they don't also have an understanding of the prostitute, the saint and sinner in one body?

I guess you go too far when pianos try to be guitars.
