I'm someone who has always been quite clear about what I like. In the studio, I'm not a control freak but I know what I want.

Some people are really good at packaging themselves, but that's not really me.

Yeah, I'm not really a morning person.

I'm a sucker for sad disco pop.

A lot of what inspired many musicians is celebrating differences, and people relate to that - more people feel like the unpopular, freaky one than the one in the in-crowd.

I like the influence of the macabre, but I don't believe in ghosts.

Some people can get away with being very sexy to men and not looking like a complete cow, but I didn't think I was in a position where people knew me well enough

I used to be hung up on my figure, but it's a waste of time. I don't believe in diets. Have four pints one night, be healthy the next.

Trust your instincts: they tend to see you right. By listening to them, at least you can sleep at night.

Not all my shoes are designer. In terms of clothes, everything is on the same level for me. If I like it, it doesn't matter if it cost £200 or £2. I'm attracted to things rather than labels.

When I first started out, I got criticism for the way I looked. I think, now, it's a good thing because, why would you want to look like everyone else?

Every time I travel I feel like the Universe is guiding me into its aura by liberating a piece of my soul.

I'm always flattered and honored when people cover my music or sing my songs, no matter where it is.

A script like Nightcrawler gives me an opportunity to truly realize a vision thats mine, which is exciting.

Truth or tact? You have to choose. Most times they're not compatible. It's so hard to draw the line.

Gos bless America, my home sweet home.

Passion is not well bred.

I think we do better as a country when we go step by step toward a goal, and the goal in this case should be reducing health care costs.

The stories that you tell yourself can make or break you - no matter who you are.

You know, there's a big lie in this business. The lie is that it's okay to go out in flames. But that doesn't do anybody much good. I may be wrong, but I think Hendrix was trying to come around.
