Zitat des Tages von Natalie Imbruglia:
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 was brought up in an environment where my parents expressed their financial concerns in front of their children.
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.
I like the idea of growing old gracefully and full of wrinkles... like Audrey Hepburn.
It's not very often that I like new bands.
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 seem to have very polite fans, not fanatical ones.
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.
I'm not a nightclub person, but you need to have a social life sometimes.
I am such a bad liar. I would like to lie, though.
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.
I exercise three to four times a week, doing the Tracy Anderson Method, which involves toning and strengthening our small muscle groups.
I started dancing when I was three, Scottish dancing.
You're only as good as your last record and you could get dropped.
You're either too fat or too thin. You just can't win.
It's good to have to put yourself in someone else's skin. It's all-consuming.
Happy songs are very difficult to write. How many truly great upbeat songs are there?
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.
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.
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.
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 perfectionist.
Divorce was very sad, obviously, but now I've gotten over it.
I like singer-songwriters, and I find sad songs comforting rather than depressing. It makes you realise you're not alone in the world.
I wasn't naturally drawn to fashion when I was younger but with my work I'm so exposed to what's out there that I'm hoping my style has become a little more sophisticated.
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.
I'm quite confident with the way that I look but you find something else to focus on don't you if, I mean I, I have body issues that's my thing so you find something to focus on when you're a perfectionist, I think.
