I will grab any opportunity I can to learn something new.
-
I went to 11 different schools. It was a fantastic adventure, but I was incredibly sensitive and needed a bit more stability.
-
Music and fashion are a sign of the times and a reflection of what people want and need at this very day and age.
-
I knew I wanted to be an artist, but I never took music lessons. I was just playing around in front of the mirror and being silly, then suddenly I started making songs.
-
I honestly kind of hate shopping. My favorite places to shop are rich old lady consignment stores.
-
I will never get to Lady Gaga's status. That's not something I want.
-
I was a total floral hippie as a child so when I finally could make my own choices, I've been living in different black suit jackets and been really drawn to masculine clothes.
-
For men, it's about finding the perfect shoe or the perfect pants that will last you through the years. That's how I want to shop: sustainable, classic, great quality.
-
When I play, I'm so in the moment that I can't really remember what happened afterwards. It's a rare experience for a thinking person like me.
-
Driving, for me, means power and freedom. The feeling that I can go anywhere I want at any time is exhilarating.
-
I used to get really sick. I would go to the doctor with all these ailments, and they would tell me I needed to be at home. I didn't even really understand what that meant because since I was a baby, I've always been moving, moving, and then touring.
-
The problem is, when I talk about heartbreak or whatever, people want to melt it down to some break-up of a relationship, but it's not about that. If you're a sensitive person, just stepping outside can be heartbreaking.
-
If you take the hard facts of a failed relationship, it's pretty grim. But if you make an album out of it, and if the violins represent all the tears, you create something magical out of something very normal.
-
During the day, I don't wear much makeup; I only put on makeup for the show.
-
You can become quite blase, and also, I have no sense of home; I don't have roots. I've never had that feeling that someone else is going to take care of me, ever. I don't trust people.
-
The music that I listen to is very minimalistic. I listen to a lot of old blues that is just guitar and vocals.
-
I don't think Neil Young has a beautiful voice, but it's something that grabs you, and the songs are so good.
-
The profession I have keeps dragging me into drama and taking me away from baking, flowering and gardening.
-
I'm a vagabond. I live out of one suitcase. I feel very comfortable in black. I feel very uncomfortable in anything else than black.
-
I lived five years in Portugal and then spent winters in Nepal or India.
-
Where I've been hasn't influenced my music. It's more what I listen to. You can find music everywhere, so moving hasn't really influenced my music, more me as a person.
-
I love pouring my heart out. People don't want to hear you whine when you're with friends, so you can sing about it instead - it's the best outlet.
-
I remember watching films in my teenage years, and you'd be in love with Leonardo DiCaprio, and then a song would come on. You'd love that song forever; it changed your life.
-
The first thing you do when you get off tour is let off some steam and, you know, have some type of big breakdown.
