I'm always sticking up for other people.

Some people are really good at packaging themselves, but that's not really me.

Yeah, I'm not really a morning person.

I'm a sucker for sad disco pop.

A lot of what inspired many musicians is celebrating differences, and people relate to that - more people feel like the unpopular, freaky one than the one in the in-crowd.

I like the influence of the macabre, but I don't believe in ghosts.

Some people can get away with being very sexy to men and not looking like a complete cow, but I didn't think I was in a position where people knew me well enough

I used to be hung up on my figure, but it's a waste of time. I don't believe in diets. Have four pints one night, be healthy the next.

Trust your instincts: they tend to see you right. By listening to them, at least you can sleep at night.

Not all my shoes are designer. In terms of clothes, everything is on the same level for me. If I like it, it doesn't matter if it cost £200 or £2. I'm attracted to things rather than labels.

When I first started out, I got criticism for the way I looked. I think, now, it's a good thing because, why would you want to look like everyone else?

On Gandhi: Don’t ever forget, that we were not lead by a saint with his head in clouds, but by a master tactician with his feet on the ground.

Donald Trump appoints people of low quality, to say the least.

All that matters is that you keep going no matter what

When I'm playing with circular saws, I'm offline (though often listening to podcasts) and when I sit in the cabin to read or write, it's wonderful to be offline for a few hours at a time.

Looking deeper into African way of life, it wasn't religious; it was spiritual. When you go into spiritualism, spiritualism will teach you about virtues, how to be patient, humble and kind.

Awake. Be the witness of your thoughts. The elephant hauls himself from the mud. In the same way drag yourself out of your sloth.

Very few people love others for what they are; rather, they love what they lend them, their own selves, their own idea of them.

They're not the sharpest people - babies. So, you must be everything to them.

Resisting what is happening is a major cause of suffering.

Once you're alive, you can't ever be dead.
