“What people don’t understand is that how you are as an artist depends on how you are emotionally.”

You get to a certain age and you can’t judge yourself on your dad or your parents.

I was quite a weird kid because I didn’t like getting presents. I don’t know why. I just went for books all the time.

I think hype is a good thing. You need it and it’ll teach you valuable things and you’ll grow stronger, which is what I’ve done.

I’d call what I do pop music, but it’s folky and electronic and it doesn’t really sound like much else.

I want to be safe in the knowledge that I can tour and play festivals for a long time. The main thing is that I want a good reputation as a live performer. If I have that, I’d be so happy.

I feel more confident if my makeup looks good.

I’m a bit of a like girly-girl, really, I like flowery stuff.

You can be the happiest you can be in a relationship but can have an urge to be with someone else. I know a lot of people that it has happened to.

I love prints of skulls and bones and have some taxidermy – a crow and a rabbit – to remind me of home. I like art and have a big portrait of Bjork.

You never know what to expect. You don’t just walk on and expect an amazing reaction.

I just sing and write songs and wear what I want. It’s quite a good job really. If I wanted to I suppose I could become more of a fashion icon, but singing is my thing.

I still love the skinny jeans thing and I wear my favorite leather jacket constantly. I like being kind of a rock star. I love that I can feel comfortable in a small dress or I can feel comfortable wearing a baggy T-shirt.

I’ve changed the way I look a bit but not intentionally. I’ve cut my hair. I’ve got a bit of pink in it and lately I’ve become a bit monochrome, wearing a lot of black and white.

I guess I started running when I was about 18 and… I feel like it assists my creativity a bit because it completely just flushes everything out.

I’d just like to think that there’s some kind of underworld where whoever’s been lost at sea is there… I dunno, there probably isn’t, but I’d like to believe there is.

Even if a relationship doesn’t work out, you can always take something positive from something negative. You never know what’s around the corner.

Do not hate or fear the artist in yourselves… Honor and love him do not try to possess him. Trust him as nobly as you trust tomorrow. Only the artist in yourself is more truthful than the night.

As the artist paints, he creates his own reality. He only needs inspiration, and all the boundaries between dreams and reality are dissolved so anything is possible.

Indulging in the pleasures of creation.

Even before making music I was always someone that you had to get to know, at school or elementary. I walked the hallways. I would take your pizza

The Artist is no other than he who unlearns what he has learned, in order to know himself.

When I was younger I used to be really into photography, and I still am, I just don’t really get to do it besides taking my own artists photos and stuff like that.
