I'm still always a country girl from New Zealand.

It's amazing. Being clearheaded for a show, for starters. Not being reflux-y because of the amount of beer you've drunk.

I am a fan of the true crime and horror genres! So, I've got a dark side too.

“Money to Burn” is a fantasy. I mean, I would love for that to be a true story. Most of my songs are written in metaphors.

You can't always be like 'sunshine and roses'. I like a little bit of darkness.

It's crazy in just the difference it makes turning up to sound check without a hangover.

I have these thoughts. I think "What if the show doesn't sell well? What if it's a half-empty room?" These are the paranoia thoughts that go through my head on a day-by-day basis.

I don't drink anymore. That's a huge - that's a massive - difference in my life. It's made a huge change in my touring.

When I say “when you’re always almost lonely, you forget to take it slowly,” I mean that you don’t always take care of yourself.

With the first record (2008’s Ladyhawke) I was quite naive, but very excited and happy.

I think I've got a lot of dark lines in this record [Wild Things] that I've hidden quite nicely among the nice things.

To be strong doesn't fulfill your eagerness to win....add a piece of confidence..

Why was it always the woman's fate to pace and fret and wait?

Dance is the only art of which we ourselves are the stuff of which it is made.

The thought that I had been captured so soon, without having done anything for the revolution, made me feel ashamed. I thought: at least now, I must carry out my duty well under torture.

When the movie's done, you talk about either the score or source music over a particular scene, what might work. You just throw a piece of music over the scene, and we both listen to it.

I foresee that the Andersen and Fairy Tale fashion will not last; none of these things away from general nature do.

Reading good books implants good ideas in the mind, develops good aspirations, and leads to the cultivation of good friends.

The most precious contribution we can make here on Earth is to create the lives we want to be living, communicating in all ways, to everyone around us, that success is really possible.

I have been doing this for eight years now so the negative things do not effect me as much as they did at the beginning.

The real focus needs to be on political action to stop this runaway train, real soon.
