Quotes

I don't really even go out that much now, except to walk my dogs, because I don't want to be recognised. I used to be a really friendly person, and now I just want to be invisible. I liked myself much more before I got famous. I was much friendlier and had more energy.

If anyone besides famous people knew what it was like to be a famous person, they would never want to be famous.

People say, “Enough of this shit where she doesn’t show her face,” and “It’s a gimmick.” For sure. I’m trying to do this differently, for serenity. And it’s a fun game for me as well. I have nothing to lose. But of course I want to be loved. So when people say, “Show your face, you’re not ugly.” I want to say, “I know. I’m not doing it because I think I’m ugly; I’m trying to have some control over my image. And I’m allowed to maintain some modicum of privacy. But also I would like not to be picked apart or for people to observe when I put on ten pounds or take off ten pounds or I have a hair extension out of place or my fake tan is botched.” Most people don’t have to be under that pressure, and I’d like to be one of them. I don’t want to be followed by paparazzi. I don’t go on Twitter. Because when people say things like, I don’t know, “I hope you get cancer and die,” it hurts my feelings.

I think I was worried about being ugly... like, I would say to people when they'd say, "You're beautiful, don't wear the mask", I'd say "It's not about that. It's just I don't want to be famous." But I think there was definitely actually a part of me that was just, was like, it's safer. It's safer in here. It's safer if I'm just a mouth... then maybe people won't say "Well, she needs a nose job, or she needs this that or the other or -" You know? And the lengths that we go to in this industry is pretty phenomenal.

I am afraid of sharks
I will not swim out past my head
And sometimes I worry my boyfriend will die
My first love is already dead
- Fear, Healing Is Difficult (2001).

I may cry, ruining my makeup
Wash away all the things you've taken
And I don't care if I don't look pretty
Big girls cry when their hearts are breaking
- Big Girls Cry, 1000 Forms of Fear (2014). Cowritten with Christopher Braide

I was hopeless and broken, you opened the door for me
Yeah, I was hiding and you let the light in and now I see
That you do for the wounded what they couldn't seem to, you set them free
Like a butterfly kissing a child with an eye for the minor key
- Dressed In Black, 1000 Forms of Fear (2014). Cowritten with Greg Kurstin and Grant Michaels
