Sia furler

When you're entertaining all day long and that's your work, you end up really very tired. You don't have a lot of energy left over for your loved ones.

People call me for the ballads. Apparently that's where I've been pigeonholed. But it's really interesting and really fun. It's my favourite part of the job, writing.

I don't read reviews or interviews or anything, just because I'm afraid; If I believed the good, then I'd believe the bad, and there will be bad.

When I was 10, my parents really valued success in the arts, and I thought if I was a famous 'something artistic,' that they would love me more.

I'm just completely obsessed with Die Antwoord.

There are probably five songs in the world that I get excited about when I hear them on the radio.

I think it would be very difficult to maintain one kind of art or whatever for your whole life. I think it's unrealistic.

Like when I'm singing live I can't hear myself. I'm just listening to the rest of the band. To listen to my voice, it doesn't even feel like it's me.

I'm an advocate of 'it's not what you are, it's who you are.'

Fame made me develop a panic disorder.
