There's nowhere like Detroit; it's a modern necropolis: all these art deco masterpieces crumbling away.

If you're an artist, you're an artist; that's the only way I can explain it.

Most music careers slowly but surely go down.

I've had a fantastic time at 'Coronation Street,' and I'm chuffed at the reaction to Becky. It's been this lovely redemption story, and I think that's what the viewers have enjoyed about it.

I think a lot of songwriters would agree that it's often easier to find inspiration in misery.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.
