I'm not anti-fashion, but I've always had a bit of a punk attitude. That's important, I think. I do my own thing.

Whatever I'm doing, I'm in that moment and I'm doing it. The rest of the world's lost. If I'm cooking some food or making soup, I want it to be lovely. If not, what's the point of doing it?

Once a song's out there, it's no longer mine. And that's the whole purpose of music: to belong to people.

When I was young, people were almost identified solely by the kind of music they liked. People fell into categories of who liked what.

To be a mother you must be strong. Even if you don't feel it, you have to pretend.

When I go into the studio, I completely detach. I let my emotions come out.
