I no longer buy papers or tabloids or magazines or read blogs. I used to. But it was just filling up my day with hatred.

It's warts and all in my songs, and I think that's why people can relate to them.

It has gotten worse as I'm becoming more successful. My nerves. Just because there's a bit more pressure, and people are expecting a lot more from me.

You can't complain about your dressing room or you'll look like Celine Dion.

I can't believe I did a peace sign on TV - like Ringo Starr!

I'd love to be an artist always, but if no one wants me, I'd love to write songs for other people, be a manager, and nurture new talent.

I don't want to be in everyone's face. I'm a big music fan, and I get really pissed off when it gets like that... and I don't want people to get like that with me.

If I were a writer and not a singer in 10 years, I don't know how I'd feel about writing really personal songs and getting someone else to sing them.
