I'm really clear about what my life mission is now. There's no more depression or lethargy, and I feel like I've returned to the athlete I once was. I'm integrating all the parts of me - jock, musician, writer, poet, philosopher - and becoming stronger as a result.

Trauma happens in relationships, so it can only be healed in relationships. Art can't provide healing. It can be cathartic and therapeutic but a relationship is a three-part journey.

In a perfect world, there would be no censorship, because there would be no judgement.

When pain brings you down, don't be silly, don't close your eyes and cry, you just might be in the best position to see the sun shine.

Music helps you find the truths you must bring into the rest of your life.

Writing the record for me - every record is almost a surprise. When people ask me, what are the themes you want to grapple with on this one? I have no idea until the record's finished.

I try to keep a low profile in general. Not with my art, but just as a person.

In one breath, I can say that we are God, but in another I have to say that we aren't deities.

I grew up in a very masculine environment. So I was around a lot of men, my brothers and their friends. There was just a lot of guys around.

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you When you think everything's okay and everything's going right And life has a funny way of helping you out when You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up In your face

We're all ants. I'm a glittery little ant.

I think it's irresponsible when celebrities imply they're doing it all themselves. My son has aunties and uncles around all the time, and my husband is my hero. He's really full-on. I couldn't do it any other way.

Society, magazines, posters, music videos, investment bankers. A lot of times, in my past anyway, looking within wasn't overly encouraged. Pretty much everybody proclaimed that fame would give me power and fortune.

There is no better feeling than when you write something you know is a piece of you and that, at some point, is going to communicate with someone else.

The whole celebrity thing is not something I'm overly interested in. I don't pop up at parties. It's just not my thing.

When someone has a very urgent response, I think it just means that it's triggering something in them that they may not necessarily want to think or talk about - which I see as a positive thing.

It's not just the 'Grammys' that I've pulled out of. I also pulled out of the English awards as well. The reason that I wanted to pull out was because I believe very much that the music industry as a whole is mainly concerned with material success.

I think some people think I'm a smarty-pants. Some people think I'm intense, some people think I'm super-esoteric and nuts.

I salute you for your courage, and I applaud your perseverance, and I embrace you for your faith in the face of adversarial forces.

I can't not write, if I don't then I get really depressed.
