I always make music that's reflective of the mindset I'm in at the time, and how I'm feeling.

It's amazing. Being clearheaded for a show, for starters. Not being reflux-y because of the amount of beer you've drunk.

I am a fan of the true crime and horror genres! So, I've got a dark side too.

I'm still always a country girl from New Zealand.

“Money to Burn” is a fantasy. I mean, I would love for that to be a true story. Most of my songs are written in metaphors.

You can't always be like 'sunshine and roses'. I like a little bit of darkness.

It's crazy in just the difference it makes turning up to sound check without a hangover.

I have these thoughts. I think "What if the show doesn't sell well? What if it's a half-empty room?" These are the paranoia thoughts that go through my head on a day-by-day basis.

I don't drink anymore. That's a huge - that's a massive - difference in my life. It's made a huge change in my touring.

With the first record (2008’s Ladyhawke) I was quite naive, but very excited and happy.

I have had my vision.

The interests of all Cypriots would be advanced with a bizonal bicommunal federation.

In L.A., everyone is competing for the next job, and in New York, it's pretty much the same thing: competing for a better job.

Spinsterhood is Nature's Own Feminism.

Gratitude to the Great Sky who holds billions of stars - and goes yet beyond that - beyond all powers, and thoughts and yet is within us - Grandfather Space. The Mind is his Wife

I think one of the big things that's come out of ghostwriting for me is real compassion for the complexity of fame.

If you analyze the production of coca in Colombia, you will realize that it is like economic cycles. It goes up and down, it goes up and down depending on the circumstances.

Your honesty, Your love, Your compassion should come from your inner being, not from teachings and scriptures.

The meaning of life is to get meaning for life.
