You live and you learn.

Hands up if you’re ready to do something you’ll regret this weekend. Go forth! You have my blessing.

I think I should get a bigger between-the-song persona, so then I'm not wandering around the stage like some mad old auntie that's saying hello to people and falling over.

When I'm singing I'm always trying to get to the highest point possible. I'd fly to the top of Buckingham Palace to sing to the queen.

I like a house party and fancy dress, a big fan of fancy dress, like dress up, costume parties.

I try to maintain a healthy dose of daydreaming, to remain sane.

Having a soul, they say, is like taking sadness and turning it into something beautiful.

If you do something with your whole heart and it's a mistake, you can live with that.

I like the idea of not being afraid of letting your imagination rule you, to feel the freedom of expression, to let creativity be your overwhelming drive rather than other things.

Sometimes I find that music is so much more attractive than love. I don’t know… It’s like some kind of euphoria, that love can’t bring to you.

You should have high expectations for yourself and others should come second.

Grit, which they defined as the tendency to work strenuously toward challenges, maintaining effort and interest over years despite failure, adversity, and plateaus in progress.

We must keep our heart open in the very moment our instinct tells us to shut it down. When we transcend this critical point, we are finally and truly able to deepen our love and strengthen our bond.

I have ugly hands, but I'm grateful 'coz they work beautifully!

You’re actually fulfilling your calling by going to work and giving your best.

They forget that we, too, have earned the right to live! So I say if we are going to die, my friend, let us die trying, not sitting.

Make sure you're realistic about what you can do, but if you have a good lead with something, making the plunge into full-time writing is the only way to go.

The talent that I was blessed with was really for the theater.

Whatever someone did to you in the past has no power over the present. Only you give it power.

I do not hold that we should rearm in order to fight. I hold that we should rearm in order to parley.
