My daughter is wonderful and incredibly well behaved. I am very lucky. She will always be my priority.

Life is too short not to experiment.

Touring and promoting and recording take a lot of time, it's just getting the right balance that's important.

I used to be a window cleaner. I got fired because I sometimes liked to drink the soapy water.

Americans are so dedicated to their jobs.

I love all those stupid, cheesy chat-up lines like 'Did God take the stars out of the sky and put them into your eyes?' But I never get chatted up.

My mum actually gave up work to look after my child, which is so touching.

I really, really love being a mum and I absolutely love being a singer so I couldn't be happier.

I don't believe stores should stock clothes below or above a certain weight. They should be made to feel uncomfortable when they go in and can't find a size.

No man ever wetted clay and then left it as if there would be bricks by chance and fortune.

I think kindness is a sort of gateway virtue - having that simple aspiration can get you into deep water very quickly - in a good way.

Exercise is the single best thing you can do for your brain in terms of mood, memory, and learning.

All paths cause pain, so to chose the safe over the audacious will not give you less pain, only less beauty.

In therapy, I see myself in the mirror differently.

Literally as well as metaphorically, the man accustomed to inverting lenses has undergone a revolutionary transformation of vision.

I try to write down every song that comes to me, even though I know that every song that comes to me isnt a song that I need to sing.

Great effort from great motives is the best definition of a happy life

Nothing makes a man more reverent than a library.
