My favourite thing to do in any city is just to get lost and go for long walks.

I wasn't Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson. I wasn't Tori Amos or Norah Jones. Nobody knew what to do with me.

I'm mostly a mess, and I hide it pretty well a lot of time.

Everything I do will always be compared to 'Love Song' in terms of success or the way it's written or whatever, but it was a really formative moment in my life and in my career.
