- I started off singing in church as a child. The sound of voices coming together, that was my first moment of touching something outside of myself.
- I did everything backward, but everyone's been so supportive. I'm not really sure what's next. There is no plan.
- I've got my ideal job. I like to sing, I like to dance, I like to bang drums and dress up, and someone pays me - it's incredible.
- I'm a choir girl gone horribly, desperately wrong.
- Ceremonials is a big-sounding album? I guess there's no getting around that. I'm attracted to that sense of being overwhelmed by something. If there's a chance that I might respond that way while these songs are playing around me, then someone else might too. And that's surely the point, isn't it?
- I ended up deciding to drink less while I was touring. It was for my voice. It's really hard to sing and keep up the pace that we were going at. It's OK for the first bits when you don't know where you're going. But now that I have more of an idea of the longevity of it, I'd like to have a career like 'P.J. Harvey' (qv) or 'Björk' (qv), who are still producing albums and have these voices. I realized if I wanted to have a career like theirs, I'd have to temper my indulgences.
