Sometimes people fear the truth. They'd rather not speak to you than know what you really think.

Celebrity culture is an aspirational culture regardless of how much you don't want it to be.

I'm not a pop act, churning stuff out really quickly. I find the music that arises from that style of working is distracted, not particularly profound.

I'm proud that with 'Bright Eyes' we've always experimented and tried to make a different record every time out.

It was hard to get guys to notice me, period, because I was so skinny and all my friends were curvy. Plus, I used to be very nervous in front of guys.
