If you knew how meat was made, you'd probably lose your lunch.

It was kind of easier for me to do records that didn’t take a year or two years of my life to write and to make.

My public image is so low-key, but I get to travel the world and still have an audience and it’s really amazing. I don’t take that for granted.

Television really has been my vehicle. I don’t get played on the radio much, so I’ve relied on TV a lot.

I think I have allowed my voice to experiment with the different genres. And I think that I have just really enjoyed the journey of getting to know my voice and seeing what it’s capable of, what it’s not capable of.

I just try to speak passionately about things I’m involved in and moved by.

I often say fame is kind of like a drug or like sugar: when it’s controlling you it doesn’t feel good at all.

I’m nearly 50. I’m past being photographed falling out of bars.

There needn’t be a distinction between your life and your music.

I don’t sing anything that hurts my voice.
