It’s not like I think my art is inspirations from icons strung together. They’re just sort of people who others talk about. I am definitely interested in the masters of different genres, they’re talented and popular for a reason.
Love is strange, sometimes it makes you crazy, it can burn or break you down.
What other people think of me is none of my business. Sometimes, it hurts my feelings, but I have to just keep going.
When I was very young I was sort of floored by the fact that my mother and my father and everyone I knew was going to die one day, and myself too. I had a sort of a philosophical crisis. I couldn’t believe that we were mortal.
I already have success. I had it a long time ago. It’s nothing to do with my music. Music is secondary, at this point. The good stuff is really good, but I have success because I’m at peace and I’m a good person in my everyday life and that’s important.
If you are born an artist, you have no choice but to fight to stay an artist.
I want to stay hopeful, even though I get scared about why we’re even alive at all.
Growing up I was always prone to obsession, partly because of the way I am, but partly because after feeling so lonely for such a long time, when I found someone or something that I liked, I felt helplessly drawn to it. I suppose that accounts for some of the creepiness in my music.
I want to find someone who’s really magnetic but who isn’t going to do anything bad to me. It’s hard.
Be like snow – cold, but beautiful.
Having a simple career as a musician who liked music was good enough for me.
You fit me better than my favorite sweater.
Well, I mean, taking time for your art is taking time for yourself, isn’t it?
I am nostalgic of an era I never knew.
Being brave means knowing that when you fail, you don’t fail forever.
When I was younger I felt lonely. In terms of my thought processes. I had the constant feeling that I thought differently to everyone around me. So, I suppose I felt lonely for a home. I didn’t know where I wanted to be, but I knew I wasn’t there yet.
I believe that there is no doubts about who I am, an artist who loves music, above everything.
I know now that it’s really important to feel beautiful. There is a power to that.
Who belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone. Who had nothing, who wanted everything.
I’ve been reading tabloids since I was nine. I love a good story.
