Musicians are probably the most uncomfortable people in themselves in the world. Happiness, I think, only exists when you're a child and once you go past 11, unfortunately it's gone.

Life takes its path and sometimes there are people to blame. Of course there are bad people in this world. Good, bad, it happens unfortunately. But in a way I think if there was more focus on the good, more good would happen.

All I care is that my family, and my loved ones, understand me. Or that they understand me to a degree - I don't understand me very much. And I don't need the world to understand me. That is the most egocentric thing.

I hate people who splash their own pain on covers, like the whole world should hear about them. Why are we all supposed to be interested in one individual's suffering?

We're all the same. We all want the same thing in life. Everybody going around like ants and we all want the same thing. And it's not one queen. It's not one queen with the wings.

Everything is nicer if you feel you're in love.

I am wholesome.

I could never dream of being cool.

I didn't have a particular persona. I'm not Alice Cooper, you know?

I don't really live by plans.

I go to churches to pray, but I don't go to mass.

I have a high tolerance for discomfort.

I love escaping into character. It's a chance to try on people that you wouldn't be brave or stupid enough to be in real life.

I love reality. I love the world. I love the smell of it. I love it.

I really love singing.

Life does throw some hard stuff at you as you get older, much harder. But you are more able to deal with things.

Other people sing in the shower, but I don't.

People are so busy anyway they don't see you or recognise you in the street.

There's a plain girl in everybody.

Well, I did go to Irish dancing lessons as a kid, but I was slapped and never went again.
