“It’s important for me to be with a musician or someone who has a creative mind.”

If you don’t throw yourself into something, you’ll never know what you could have had.

I’m a realist and a dreamer. There are certain things you can give certain people and certain things you can’t.

I saw a picture of myself when I came out of the hospital. I didn’t recognize myself.

If you’re nice to me I’ll never write anything bad about you.

I do suffer from depression, I suppose. Which isn’t that unusual. You know, a lot of people do.

I didn’t think it was special to be able to sing.

I fall in love every day. Not with people but with situations.

There are certain songs I cannot hear because they are so personal that it hurts me to listen.

Over futile odds, and laughed at by the gods And now the final frame. Love is a losing game.

Christina Aguilera has her own style, so good on her. I don’t think anyone’s every told her to put on some leather chaps and get her noonie out. She’s an amazing singer but a lot of her music I can’t even hear.

I don’t care what people think about me. Never did, never will. Life is too short to be worrying about that shit.

I believe in fate and I believe that things happen for a reason, but I don’t think that there’s a high power, necessarily. I believe in karma very much though.

I’ve always written poetry but I didn’t realise it was a therapy for me until I was maybe 15. That’s when my singing started to come together as well because I was listening to so much jazz. What I love I will always embrace.

I always wrote poetry and stuff like that, so putting songs together wasn’t that spectacular.

I’m of the school of thought where, if you can’t sort something out for yourself, no one can help you. Rehab is great for some people but not others.

I’m always happy to blow up any misconceptions that people have about stage school cos everyone thinks it’s really nasty there but it’s not.

Improvisation can be either a last resort or an established way of evoking creativity.

Put hot triggers in the path of motivated people.

Your creativity is waiting for you like a dancing partner.

Time is clay. Go make something.

Catastrophe and creation are twins.

Creativity is people who care enough to keep thinking about something until they find the simplest way to do it.

In order to be open to creativity, one must have the capacity for constructive use of solitude. One must overcome the fear of being alone.

Creativity is neither the product of neurosis nor simple talent, but an intense courageous encounter with the Gods.
