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

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.

Because I’ve always been a runner I love to feel that my body is shining on the inside. I wear baggy clothes, so it’s not as though I like showing it off. I just like to know I’m great on the inside.

Something funny always happens in every show in the UK and I genuinely love touring the UK because it’s where I’m from. I just get a warm feeling when I’m home.

The smallest changes, like I stopped eating meat and I’ve been doing different kinds of exercise like Yoga and stuff like that, little changes have made me feel a bit more at peace I think.

Men are wary of me because they know, by listening to my music, that a relationship with me will be quite deep.

How small we feel with our petty ambitions and strivings in the presence of the great elemental forces of Nature!

The simple truth is, the more we care about others, the more alive and engaged we’re going to feel.

It always shocked me when I realized that I wasn’t the only person in the world who thought and felt such strange and awful things.

My idea of a true feminist is a woman who feels free enough to do whatever she wants.

Painting it’s a blind man profession. Painter is painting not what he sees but what he feels.

I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel all alone.

Love as distinct from “being in love” is not merely a feeling. It is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit.

There were times when it would have been easy to fall apart or to go in the opposite direction, but somehow I felt that if I took on more step, someone would come along to join me.
