Coming from New Zealand, all the music I listen to is not made by New Zealanders. People never come to New Zealand to play a show because it's in the middle of nowhere.

Nobody asks me about what male musicians I think about; I only ever get asked about females.

I'd refer to myself as a feminist. I don't think my music is overtly rooted in feminism. I'm a teenager, and 95 percent of my friends are boys, and that's just the way I've always been.

I think young people are the most creative and the coolest - people that we should be learning from. Even when I'm at a party, I'm analyzing it and thinking about it in the context of how I would write about it. That side of me never switches off.

The Hindu marriage may be described as the union of two families. In this union, there is no room for petty ambitions and personal ego-trips. What is involved is love for the entire family that one is marrying into.

The compensation of a very early success is a conviction that life is a romantic matter. In the best sense one stays young.

Marriage is marriage. Everybody has problems.

Taste and love are not the servants of the will. Love is and must be free. It rises from the heart like perfume from a flower.
