It's like, 'You're not allowed to change. That's not fair. We like you like this.' But I don't. So let me expand and express myself.

I only watch TV when I go to hotels.

To me, music has to be about freedom. It's the most important thing in my life.

Life is good. Or at least, it's always interesting.

Who says soul has only one colour?

I'm supposed to be taking time off. But I'm still writing and I have this Gap advert lined up.

If you remember one thing from talking to me, remember this: I am just a girl who makes noises - and I'm incredibly lucky that people happen to like those noises.

It's ok to be sassy, but I'll never be trashy, it's ok to be nasty, but you got to keep it classy now

It would just be nice if everybody would be nice.

If I could be a doctor and save lives I would, but I can't so I sing songs.

I can be whatever. I can wear shoes or don't wear shoes. I can tie my hair up or wear it down. It doesn't matter.

Christians talk as though goodness was their idea but good behavior doesn't have any religious origin. Our prisons are filled with the devout.

To be wise means to know when to stay silent.

Let a joy keep you. Reach out your hands and take it runs by.

The person who floated the axe with a stick is in charge of my affairs, so marvel not.

People who dismiss all capitalism or all socialism are opposite ends of the same kind of stupid.

A day of worry is more exhausting than a day of work.

Everything to lose, nothing to lose, someone's taken it, or you've lost it.

The moment you have subtitles and you have to speak Chinese, you already limit your global audience.

Ladies' hearts are like china on a mantelpiece. There are so many of them, and it is so easy to break them without noticing.

We are living in a material world and I'm a material girl.
