I heard of this Texas studio. The owner, Tony Rancich, wanted to fly us out for the day to see the studio. I booked it the next day. He's that rare guy that is in it purely for the love of it.
When we were at the CMT Awards this year, Robert Plant was there. What an icon, I love him... But I can't go up and speak to him, because I don't want to seem like a goob.
I had a friend write me that our music was being played at Gay Pride in New York, which is a big compliment. In the biggest city in the country with the most culture and the most grit - I love it.
I love Barbra Streisand and Sade who've both had careers in soul and I want my music to have that timeless quality that isn't necessarily now.
I didn't lose. I got second. That's still winning. How could I be unhappy with second place? There are a million people who would love to be in my position.
I've never really been a confident person, except from a musical standpoint. I had to push myself early on, but it got easier with each gig.
Just thinking of all the things I'd done getting there and everything I've sacrificed to do so. But what's happening now makes it worth it.
Another day another life Passes by just like mine It's not complicated Another mind Another soul Another body to grow old It's not complicated
I'm hoping to make a new thing for the world that remains in the mind like a new species of living thing.
The industrial part of Detroit is really the most interesting side, otherwise it’s like the rest of the United States, ugly and stupid.
I kind of have a Victorian sensibility - I don't understand stuff until I can classify it and name it.
What makes me happy is having a really nice day out with my mum, or getting better at something I've been working hard at.
Being beautiful isn't everything... Sometimes it's interesting to show how you feel on the inside on the outside, just through expressing yourself.
I definitely keep myself to myself; I don't really go out. If my friends want to see me, they know to come around to my house.
I was never the pretty girl at school. I'm tiny and mixed-race. I grew up in a white area. I was always the loner.
I write exactly what I think. If it's a raw subject, I write lots of things and then pull out all the fluff words.
I really enjoy the fun of putting something out and people liking it or hating it or talking about it, but vacuous attention, it feels disgusting. It's like a hangover.
I've never listened to an album once I've finished it. All I hear is what I should've done different. I beat myself up over it.
My goal is to hit the gym every day I'm on vacation. Usually I just end up sleeping and drinking beer.
Jack Bruce, as soon as I saw him, it changed me. I didn't even know what bass players did until I saw Cream.
I don't like things that can be reproduced. Wood isn't important in itself but rather in the fact that objects made in it are unique, simple, unpretentious.
