television radio tvs
Television really has been my vehicle. I don't get played on the radio much, so I've relied on TV a lot.
distinction
There needn't be a distinction between your life and your music.
people musical taste
We're in a period where society seems very attracted to flash, and that seeps into people's musical taste.
voice personality shapes
It's just a theory really, but I have always thought that your physical surroundings can shape your voice and personality.
writing years two
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.
fall past bars
I'm nearly 50. I'm past being photographed falling out of bars.
long thank-god records
I'm a singer and as long as I can sing - which, thank God, is something that I still seem to be able to do - I'd like to carry on making records.
song writing play
I wanted to write songs that would play themselves on stage, songs that sweep you through their current.
feel-good drug sugar
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.
trying speak involved
I just try to speak passionately about things I'm involved in and moved by.
simple voice impact
I just try to live a really simple, natural life, because obviously, life has an impact on your voice.
fall home thinking
I think I fall into a lot of cracks in terms of I'm too something. I'm too this, I'm too that. And my music has never really had a home. I've been this floating alternative. I'm too mainstream for alternative. I'm too alternative for mainstream. And I'm just kind of wandering.
keys world granted
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.
want able wonderful
There are days when I still want to be able to do what I want when I want, but there's also something wonderful about being secure.
