I think that it's the job of the artist to be in transition and constantly learn more.

It's nice coming to Nashville, and we have four-bedroom house and a dog, and we go swimming a lot. We get down here and spread out a lot, and I miss my sweet tea and my cornbread and my good southern cooking - but I'm down here eating pretty for two weeks and I'm ready to go back to New York City.

I got a feeling that when I have kids, I'm going to have a little girl, and she's going to be completely sensible.

I think a lot of men are afraid of pretty things, and I'm not, I like pretty songs.

Growing up, my mom made us this amazing thing called The Mack Theatrical Wardrobe. It was a massive trunk filled with everything that you'd want as a kid if you were into imagination and play.

Although I had a private education at secondary level, I went to a local primary school where I mixed with kids of all backgrounds.

When I was a little girl, my imagination was what helped me deal with some sort of negative elements in my childhood.

I don't believe my house was haunted. I think I had an overactive imagination, and I was so convinced that those around me became convinced, too.
