Had we known that the price that we would have to pay for this success, we never would have wanted it.
Success, I've come to realise, is fleeting so you shouldn't value it too much.
That was the most exciting period, I think: at first, when you get the success on that really large scale.
I do find myself at the moment, due to the success of School of Rock, to be on people's radar a little.
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
Don't get me wrong, I love my first two albums a lot.
I love hats and winter is the perfect time for them. I love winter time fashion.
I really want to work with Rufus Wainwright. Michael Stipe from R.E.M. I would love to work with Kanye West.
I love suits, but onstage it's too hot. So, I like a nice T-shirt!
Sometimes it's hard to be a woman giving all your love to just one man.
I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.
I love that Bob Dylan asked me to be in the first movie he wrote.
I love the whole process for each new album. The writing, the touring, everything. For me, it never gets old.
I want to make music that will make the blood surge in your veins, music that will get people up and dance.
I think in the world of indie music there's this sort of false modesty.
I'm very happy that I got introduced to music only as something you got pleasure from.
Sometimes I think to talk too much about music almost cheapens it.
I think you can see that in the show. Music was my touchstone. Music is still much more important to me.
From the beginning, I wanted to make dance music with a human element to it.
Synthesizers were looked at as stealing the soul of music, but then there were these new bands who used it to contradict that idea.
I really like musicals - 'The Music Man,' 'Oklahoma!,' 'Li'l Abner,' 'Annie Get Your Gun.'
