"I've always been a bit of a decorator. I think if I wasn't a singer I'd probably be in stage setting or interior design or something. I like clutter and I'm quite visually greedy. I can't have things to be plain I have to have things looking interesting... maybe I'm just a frustrated interior designer stuck in a singing career."
"Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works."
Steve Jobs on Design"You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality."
Walt Disney on Design"The artist in me cries out for design."
Robert Frost on Design"A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
Antoine de Saint-Exupery on Design"Sometimes I can't figure designers out. It's as if they flunked human anatomy."
Erma Bombeck on Design"I try to write lyrics so that they won't age, which sort of leaves you with the big subjects like death and love and sex and violence."
"I've got some incredible fans actually - so loyal and they make me birthday cards and Christmas cards. I got this package of poems and artwork based around the songs. They've got this thing called 'Floetry' where they all have to put in artwork. They've set up their own competitions and stuff which is kind of amazing."
"I saw 'The Artist.' It's really beautiful and it's all done to the letter with all the silent film techniques. The costumes were amazing and the dog is so good."
"My siblings and I were friends with the boys who would become our stepbrothers - we grew up on the same street. I feel very special to have these amazing people in my life and if we hadn't all moved into this big house together I think I would have missed out on that, because we would have drifted apart."
