Cosmetics is a boon to every woman, but a girl's best beauty aid is still a near-sighted man.

I'm not interested so much in collaboration. You see that from the history of my albums.

I get very nervous before I get on the stage, but once I'm on the stage, I'm just, you know, me. Nothing hurts me.

It's a waste of time to think that if you colored a painting red what might have happened if you painted it black.

Next time you meet a 'foreigner', remember it's only like a window with a different shape to it and the person who's sitting inside is you.

Long, long time ago, I declared that all my works are a form of a prayer/a wish.

I just go with the flow, so any style can be in my music - that makes it exciting.
