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?

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.

Two premature babies was not a genetic thing; we were just unlucky.

Materializations are often best produced in rooms where there are books. I cannot think of any time when materialization was in any way hampered by the presence of books.

Bring love and peace and happiness and beautiful lives into the world in my honor. Thank you. Love you.

No need to feel brave or confident; just behave that way.

happiness depends more upon the state of mind - and body, perhaps - than upon circumstances and events.

It's part of the fun of it to work with strong personalities.

There's a vulnerability in music but you've also got to protect your sacred place and have a place you can still retire to that no one else knows about. So that's a thing I just try to balance.

I knew that I could be more creative onstage, to state my own case and deliver my own interpretation of the role much more aggressively than in the recording studio.

If I have any talent at all, it is not for doing but for being.

I don't like expectations.

My definition of a good hotel is a place I'd stay at.
