I don't really cringe over any of my albums.

In the past, I've been a bit diffident about my own albums, almost excusing them for some reason, even though deep down I felt strongly about them.

I don't care what people do. I don't care how people remember my albums. I do them for my own reasons.

I think maybe because of the kind of music I sing, people want to believe you're a diva. They can't believe after eight years, and eight albums, you're still relatively sane. I feel like they almost want me to throw something at somebody.

You know, albums are a funny thing. They're not like an intellectual decision. It's a collection of your kind of musings.

People don't really listen to albums anymore. They just find good songs.

If people stop being interested, it's because you haven't written a good enough album. Music will always be the most powerful thing. It doesn't matter what record labels or journalists say. It's the song.

I feel that people really feel they've got a part of me when they listen to my albums and the themes just show themselves.

My songs are the reflection of how I think and how I feel in that moment. But I'm conscious of the fact that artists have a responsibility before the masses and they have to take care with their words.

I have a pet peeve about bands that don't play their hits. I think it's kind of selfish.
