The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.

Jealousy, that dragon which slays love under the pretence of keeping it alive.

My heart pumps yet the poison draught of you.

I try to bring the audience’s own drama – tears and laughter they know about – to them.

I don’t know why, it’s the same reason why you like some music and you don’t like others. There’s something about it that you like. Ultimately I don’t find it’s in my best interests to try and analyze it, since it’s fundamentally emotional.

Since love first made the breast an instrument Of fierce lamenting, by its flame my heart Was molten to a mirror, like a rose I pluck my breast apart, that I may hang This mirror in your sight.

There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.
