Sia Furler

I have social anxiety. It's easier up on stage because there's security in being there. When I'm off stage I'm trying not to be a manic freak. I'm quite shy.

I'm sensitive and get easily upset and insulted.

I'm an advocate of 'it's not what you are, it's who you are.'

I'm not afraid of wanting money at all. Money will give me more power to do things that are truer to my spirit than what I'm already doing.

A teacher must believe in the value and interest of his subject as a doctor believes in health.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
