I do love the idea that something can make you forget that you're listening and just transport you to somewhere else in your head.

A lot of me figuring out how to love myself more involves finding the things that I'm ashamed of and looking them right in the eye.

You become more animalistic when you don't know what's coming next - you have to be on guard, but at the same time you're also more receptive.

Someone can only be vampiric if you allow it.

There is also a particular frustration that I have with language. It's so clumsy. And the reason I'm feeling that is more because on your breathing and your intonation than the actual words.

I had an unspoken treaty with myself to never lie in my lyrics, so, for a long time, when I wrote love songs, I would use genderless pronouns, like "dear" and "darling" - like some kind of granny!

It's very human to try to put things into boxes, and it's hard for us to reconcile with grey areas, and yet somehow that's the area I find the most poetic, the juiciest.

I try to have things change before I get bored, and I figure other people might enjoy that too; I try not to let anything repeat for long enough that you can get used to it.

I do love voices so much that I will use them and manipulate them. The presence of a human voice in a piece of music is really exciting, even if it's just someone's breathing.

With song titles, I try to keep a healthy sense of humor while saying something at the same time.

When you actually make a new friend, and you make music and laugh really hard together, that can give you a lot of confidence and nourishment and encouragement.

To be able to live each day with honor, respect and dignity is the greatest achievement of all.

As a student of life I just want to be constantly progressing mentally, physically, and spiritually.

I'd guess that 80 percent of the people who work for Playboy are feminists.

The UK is always ahead of their time in music, and America always follows them five years later.

I just really allowed my muse to be my guide and I just go with whatever I'm feeling.

All change is bad. But sometimes it has to be done.

The New York Marathon: a fantastic event.

The public will not forgive us if their wish to leave is subject to a bitter and a divisive Conservative Party leadership race between Remain and Leave camps.

As for me and my house, I have no other refuge than this command of Jesus, 'Only believe' that is my refuge.
