I might not be beautiful, but I'm very interesting!

I have a tendency to run after people who are completely unattainable and uninterested and make a complete fool of myself.

I've spent the first part of my life in the shadow of my family. I'm not going to live in the shadow of my husband.

It's better to embrace your roots than it is to fight it, because then you're just fighting something that you're not going to win. We're like a band of gypsies, and it makes sense.

I don't like talking about music.

I always seem to write personal songs; that's always been my go-to thing, to write about what I'm experiencing.

I'm not very prolific. I'm not good at sitting down as an artist and saying 'Okay, I need to put in my four hours today.'

I think my mother was always worried about me when she was alive.

I've learnt to hide my tears on stage. They make people uncomfortable.

You know, people always ask me how I describe my music. First of all I tell them that's their job and then that also one day I hope to have things referred to as Martha Wainwright -esque.

This morning do something different: When you wake up in the morning, wake your forgotten and forsaken dreams up as well, wake them up like an insisting rooster!

I don't have a story about an epiphany in which I suddenly realised I wanted to be an actor. It was much more a case of the idea dawning on me gradually.

The ex-left-hander Dave Roberts will be going for Houston.

Sometimes you have to understand that you push ahead, there's going to be a lot of flak, there's going to be a lot of dogs barking, but the wagon train moves ahead.

When you end up happily married, even the failed relationships have worked beautifully to get you there.

I don't think Mercedes-Benz says anything about me, really. I was in a situation where I was able to get a really nice car and I'm proud to have it.

I will continue to be intelligent, I vowed, no matter how beautiful I become.

The kids are so much fun. I'm always taking a look over at what they're doing because it reminds me of when I was so small before.

Do not go through life like leaf blown from here to there believing whatever you are told.

Ain't fit for man nor beast
