Quote

If you see a river running smoothly, it's because someone has drowned in it, and if it's raging, it means that it's still got bloodlust.

I think waste of your brain is something that my mother would say to me occasionally - I think it's usually when I'm telling her something like that I can remember every outfit I've ever worn.

I look really odd in jeans and a hoodie - it doesn't feel or seem right.

I'm one of those people that is up for most things. When I was offered to sing at the Oscars I was like, 'Yeah, I want to know what that's like!' I'm always curious to know what things are like - as long as you're not compromising who you are.

Touring, and being in a band, it's almost like the other stuff, the other parts of life, get put on hold.

Excitable, easily distracted, sometimes vacant, prone to gloominess and also extreme euphoria I can’t be generous with time, but I try to be generous with affection. I’m really lucky to be able to be in some of these situations and it feels really nice to be able to take people along with me for the ride. Oh, and I’m a pain in the ass as well.

I started off singing in church as a child. The sound of voices coming together, that was my first moment of touching something outside of myself.

Going to parties usually makes me feel depressed, just because I have such social fear after meeting people.

You can forget anything, and actually being a part of a crowd, of a group, can itself be freeing.

Image
I can't just have one painting - I need to cover the wall in paintings. It's the same with my music. I want to mix everything together to create more.

My visual landscape as a child was the inside of a lot of these old churches. And the Baroque drama of the things was what I was first engaging with artwise. I'm much more attracted to the aesthetic of religious iconography than the actual religious side. The passion and the blood and the violence and the gaudy side of it I find really fascinating.

For someone so conflicted, who am I to give advice to anybody? It’s such a funny, grandiose idea

I wish to remain nameless And live without shame 'Cause what's in a name, Oh I still remain the same

I got to live out my 11-year-old fantasies - I got to go on stage with Green Day. Billie Joe called my name from the stage. 'Dookie' was the first album I ever bought. I covered the whole of 'Nimrod' and he'd heard it. That was like the 11-year-old girl dreamed.

I always seem to feel that everything is about to cave in on me. I think that maybe music is my protection from that and in some senses it's an outlet to turn it into something euphoric: embracing the eventual decline.

The stage is the place I feel comfortable - it's almost as if real life is where I feel most nervous. Conversations are a lot more nerve-wracking.
