  • I exercise three to four times a week, doing the Tracy Anderson Method, which involves toning and strengthening our small muscle groups.

  • I can understand why some people might look at me and say, 'What's she got to be depressed about?' I get that a lot in Britain, where mental health issues seem to be a big taboo.

  • Enjoy every moment: you never know when things might change.

  • I like singer-songwriters, and I find sad songs comforting rather than depressing. It makes you realise you're not alone in the world.

  • There is no kind way to rip the skin off animals' backs. Anyone who wears any fur shares the blame for the torture and gruesome deaths of millions of animals each year.

  • I think where men are credited for being strong, women are divas. I just think it's such a cop out.

  • Saving animals is as simple as choosing synthetic alternatives instead of real fur.

  • Divorce was very sad, obviously, but now I've gotten over it.

  • It was only cool to have blond hair and be a surfer chick [in Sydney]. I could learn how to surf, but I still looked Italian. It took me a long time to realize that was a good thing.

  • I like the idea of growing old gracefully and full of wrinkles... like Audrey Hepburn.

  • Since childhood I've always had a tendency to lean towards melancholy. My sisters suffer from it too, so maybe it's a genetic thing. But none of us has ever been on medication.

  • Happy songs are very difficult to write. How many truly great upbeat songs are there?

  • I'm all out o faith, this is how I feel. I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor. Illusions never change into something real. I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn. You're a little late, I'm already torn.

  • When I'm in London, I love to visit Kensington gardens and just sit in the park and read a good book.

  • It's good to have to put yourself in someone else's skin. It's all-consuming.

  • I've always been drawn to the four-leaf clover. It's deeply significant to my sister and me, so much so that we both have had it tattooed on the inside of our wrists.

  • Generally I can sleep any time, anywhere, any place, unless I'm anxious about work. I can get performance anxiety, so when I'm on tour it can be hard to sleep.

  • If I start feeling down I'll gorge myself on pasta. That usually does the trick. It's the Italian blood in me.

  • I'm a fan of homeopathy, acupuncture and spiritual healing. In Australia, this is not weird, but when I arrived in the U.K., everyone thought I was a freak.

  • I'm such a chameleon. I never get bored.

  • I'm not a nightclub person, but you need to have a social life sometimes.

  • I've done a lot of partying in my time because I didn't want to go home and I didn't know what to do.

  • It's much easier to write when you're sad. But you can end up isolated and depressed because you almost need to put yourself in that situation to have that angst to write from.

  • I worry unnecessarily.

  • I know my music probably isn't going to matter to the public after I die, but that doesn't mean I don't have something to offer.

  • I am such a bad liar. I would like to lie, though.

  • I seem to have very polite fans, not fanatical ones.

  • My mum said I told her I wanted to be a hairdresser during the week and a star on the weekend and that was when I was really young.

  • I wasn't born with a natural talent for songwriting.

  • My kitchen bench is covered with vitamins and protein powders. I go through phases when I'm sure I'm taking too many - but I don't get sick often.

  • There are artists who think they have to be on top all the time. I think that would be exhausting.

  • I have never planned to have babies by a certain age.

  • I started dancing when I was three, Scottish dancing.

  • I was brought up in an environment where my parents expressed their financial concerns in front of their children.

  • I would have been happy to have waited till I was in my mid- to late-30s before I got married, but you don't choose when these things happen, and when they do, there's no doubt in your mind.

  • Ignore reality, there's nothing you can do about it.

  • Illusion never changed into something real.

  • Intuition tells me how to live my day, intuition tells me when to walk away.

  • Isolation is a big part of songwriting.

  • It's not very often that I like new bands.

  • Sex sells everything, but I don't buy it.

  • The success of Torn was a bit too much for me. I took a year off and was still scared to start the second album.

  • You feel this pressure that people will take you more seriously if you play guitar, but I've decided I'm a singer and that's enough.

  • You're either too fat or too thin. You just can't win.

  • You're only as good as your last record and you could get dropped.

  • I know I get cold, cause I can't leave things well alone. Understand I'm accident prone. Me, I get free every night the moon is mine. But when the morning comes don't say you love me, don't say you need me. I really don't think that's fair.
