I can't write another breakup record. That would be a real cliche.
I find it quite difficult to think that there's, you know, about 20 million people listening to my album that I wrote very selfishly to get over a breakup. I didn't write it being that it's going to be a hit.
I let it fall, my heart And as it fell, you rose to claim it, It was dark, and I was sober, Until you kissed my lips and you saved me.
So is it over is this really it You've given up so easily I thought you loved me more than this
The scars of your love remind me of us they keep me thinking that we almost had it all the scars of your love they leave me breathless I can't help feeling we could have had it all
I am never writing a breakup record again, by the way. I'm done with being a bitter witch.
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.
Let the sky fall, when it crumbles - We will stand tall - Face it all together
I was about to meet Beyonce, and I had a full-blown anxiety attack. Then she popped in looking gorgeous, and said, 'You're amazing! When I listen to you I feel like I'm listening to God.'
I'm a big personality. I walk into a room, big and tall and loud.
My life is full of drama, and I don't have time to worry about something as petty as what I look like.
I no longer buy papers or tabloids or magazines or read blogs. I used to.
I don't write songs about a specific, elusive thing.
It has gotten worse as I'm becoming more successful. My nerves. Just because there's a bit more pressure, and people are expecting a lot more from me.
