I don't want anyone to think that I've been lost to California.

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.

If you pray for thy neighbour, sow a seed of love in thy heart.

There was no quick grief for Andrew because he had been so slowly lost. First from my heart, then from my mind, and only finally from my life.

Games that make you feel good about yourself are good games to be playing.

All of my wildness is in the writing. I have discovered I have to be orderly and boring in my personal life to be wild in my work.

I was told that I had very likely been clinically depressed for a long, long time, probably since I was 15, or even 14. It explained, to me at least, a lot of my behaviour over the years.

Addiction is a brain disease. This is not a moral failing. This is not about bad people who are choosing to continue to use drugs because they lack willpower.

Don't talk too much, be focused on the goal and achieve it.

A lot of being an actor is being something that people imagine you to be.

The law of life is to leave behind the ground one is standing on and then step forward.

We will continue to spill blood in what is, at bottom, a war of ideas
