One simple word: ugh. Is something still considered a conspiracy if it's played out right under our noses?

The good thing about working alone is I get a lot done and I can experiment more. The bad thing is I miss out on the gregarious, social way that most musicians work.

My reason for becoming a vegetarian was simple: I loved (and love) animals

I'm envious of people who can sleep as long as they want. I have the circadian rhythm of a farmer.

The good thing about not being drop-dead gorgeous is that as time passes, I don't have much to worry about. I have friends who are actors and every day they look in the mirror with trepidation.

Could you look an animal in the eyes and say to it, 'My appetite is more important than your suffering'?

I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I'll go to it laughing.

I like noise. It's always puzzled me why one of the goals of contemporary recording is to get rid of noise and to eliminate any element of a performance.

To truly live a creative life means that you will need to experiment in as many different fields as possible.

It is the time that delivers greatness to people .

I don't care what the public wants, I'm going to give it what it needs!

I am an actress first, a singer second.

I never felt happy with the idea that part of what I do is to be an object to be looked at. I thought of my public persona as an entity separate to myself.

Music is one of my greatest loves. I don't think I would be able to live without music in my life.

It's painful to listen to the barking of dogs.

Red roses for young lovers. French beans for longstanding relationships

You never imagine that when you say hello to someone and you fall in love, that some day you'll have to say goodbye.
