I'm really happy to be me, and I'd like to think people like me more because I'm happy with myself and not because I refuse to conform to anything.
I want to go and see things as a fan again. I am a fan, but I can't remember what it feels like to be a fan anymore. Because I've become an artist. I've become the artist.
I can't believe I did a peace sign on TV - like Ringo Starr!
I'm very confident. Even when I read people saying horrible stuff about my weight.
There will be no new music until it's good enough and until I'm ready.
I wanted to be a singer forever. But it's not really my cup of tea. Having the whole world know who you are.
I've never had a problem with the way I look. I'd rather go for lunch with my friends than go to a gym.
A drunk tongue is an honest one in my opinion.
I get shitty scared. One show in Amsterdam, I was so nervous I escaped out the fire exit. I've thrown up a couple of times. Once in Brussels, I projectile-vomited on someone. I just gotta bear it. But I don't like touring. I have anxiety attacks a lot.
I mean, the thought of someone spending $20 to come and see me and saying 'Oh, I prefer the record and she's completely shattered the illusion' really upsets me. It's such a big deal that people come give me their time.
Regrets and Mistakes, they're Memories made
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavement, even if it leads nowhere?
Nothing that I wouldn't do, to make you feel my love
Where you go, I go, What you see, I see, I know I'd never be me without the security, Are your loving arms keeping me from harm Put your hands in my hand & we'll stand.
