“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.”

I feel quite proud to be an ambassador for women who realize that being fit is better than being skinny.

I like the idea about somewhere there being a world… somewhere there’s a world that I don’t know about. But also, that somewhere, there was once something that disappeared.

My fans are so funny, they make me laugh so much. I’ve got some really, really, funny, clever fans.

My mum was too busy raising four of us to encourage my hopes. But I’m glad I had the upbringing I did. It made me a worrier and a thoughtful, curious person.

The only really safe thing to do is to write a diary of where you’ve been, what time you went to bed, what you ate. If I wrote honestly about everything I think it’d be a disaster. It would cause a lot of trouble.

I could always sing, from a really young age, but my voice was really weird. I used to make my mum turn up the radio every day in our house. She was well into music so I got that from her.

I feel like my figure is a challenge because I’m quite flat chested but I’ve got a booty so I’ve got to look for the right things.

I guess I’m just quite observant and I pay attention to a lot of things. Human behavior really fascinates me.

My soul is to sell. The dark is too hard to beat ’cause they’re calling me.

I’ve just become quite fixated on the idea of calmness and peacefulness somewhere, someday.

I’ve never wanted to be a star, I never wanted to be a famous person or anything like that, and I think my fans know that as well.

I can fall in love in a simple way, but I can dissect it in such an intense fashion when it ends.

The nature of how we are as human beings is that we’re much more interested in being critical rather than praising something.

How long will I love you? As long as stars are above you, And longer if I may.

You should constantly write because your writing is always evolving and progressing. It’s really important to start writing young.

Even when I’m in quite a happy state of mind, I like writing really sad songs. I think a lot of people do.

Nothing will turn a man’s home into a castle more quickly and effectively than a dachshund.

I like cottage cheese. That’s why I want to try other dwelling cheeses, too. How about studio apartment cheese? Tent cheese? Mobile home cheese? Do not eat mobile home cheese in a tornado.

You don’t have to be a house to be haunted.

Television has brought back murder into the home – where it belongs.

I had only one superstition. I made sure to touch all the bases when I hit a home run.

Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours.

Every Strike is one step closer to a Home Run.

It’s quantity of time at home and quality of time at work that counts; don’t mix them up!
