With the first record (2008’s Ladyhawke) I was quite naive, but very excited and happy.

It's amazing. Being clearheaded for a show, for starters. Not being reflux-y because of the amount of beer you've drunk.

I am a fan of the true crime and horror genres! So, I've got a dark side too.

I'm still always a country girl from New Zealand.

“Money to Burn” is a fantasy. I mean, I would love for that to be a true story. Most of my songs are written in metaphors.

You can't always be like 'sunshine and roses'. I like a little bit of darkness.

It's crazy in just the difference it makes turning up to sound check without a hangover.

I have these thoughts. I think "What if the show doesn't sell well? What if it's a half-empty room?" These are the paranoia thoughts that go through my head on a day-by-day basis.

I don't drink anymore. That's a huge - that's a massive - difference in my life. It's made a huge change in my touring.

When I say “when you’re always almost lonely, you forget to take it slowly,” I mean that you don’t always take care of yourself.

I think I've got a lot of dark lines in this record [Wild Things] that I've hidden quite nicely among the nice things.

Courage is a kind of salvation.

Perhaps host and guest is really the happiest relation for father and son.

I think when you're in a relationship where you really care for the other person, when they achieve their dreams it's better than when you do yourself.

Art is the concrete representation of our most subtle feelings.

Finality is not the language of politics.

Get Creative - You Will Surprise Yourself and Change the World!

It seemed like there was no control over it. I think certain things just popped. God was blessing us in telling us that certain things were going the way they were supposed to go.

That's what I'd call him if he was my dog. Jacket-humper. Kinda had a ring to it. Although it seemed a little long for vet visits and intros to lady dogs.

The act of forgiveness takes place in our own mind. It really has nothing to do with the other person.

Dancehall is just like hip-hop in that it doesn't always talk about bling; it talks about conscious issues.
