“I wrote a lot of poetry that was based on stories of the sea and I was really inspired by that.”

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.

One of the most powerful feelings in the world is after a really, really long run.

Apparently I’m introspective, levelheaded, but at the same time, absolutely insane.

It took time to really build myself a reputation as a good live performer, a musician and an artist.

I definitely write about a lot of dreamy, surreal stuff. I do end up going to a surreal world with my music, but I also like the idea of there being really real stuff as well.

Now, if some panic hits me, you have to sort of be friends with your body, it’s like your body will work against you.

I would never create an image for myself; I’m not that clever.

I believe in the moment of things and fate and things happening for a reason, so I write things down and I trust it.

The very first song I wrote was about a boy that I was obsessed with.

My favourite people to follow on Twitter are… my fans. They make me laugh so much and keep me smiling.

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

I think, it is a challenge to get critics or whoever to see past what you wear and makeup and the way you look and just concentrate on the music.

I believe that when you have fans, they invest in you not just as a singer but as a person as well. It’s not enough to just have good songs and a good voice.

I used to be obsessed with Pearl Jam, but I love having pink hair and kind of looking like a Barbie.

I’m never happy with my face, my hair, I haven’t really got any boobs and I’m not really that tall.

If I had more time I would write a shorter letter.

By perseverance the snail reached the ark.

Find something that you love. Something that gets you so excited you can’t wait to get out of bed in the morning. Forget about money. Be happy.

When you make a mistake, there are only three things you should ever do about it: 1. Admit it. 2. Learn from it, and 3. Don’t repeat it.

You take five fingers. Individually, I can pin any one of them, but if I pin them together (makes a fist), it’s damn near impossible to turn this around.

Do something that you love. Whatever you’re going to do is going to be tough enough. Find something that gets you so excited that the sun can’t come up early enough in the morning because you want to go do your thing.

Success does not require you to look out the window, It only requires that you look in the mirror.

The remedy for weakness is not brooding over weakness, but thinking of strength.
