• "The album's very much about being alone in your house, in a very quiet sort of introverted mood and you whisper, you sort of improvise. Which is between me and myself." (about her album 'Vespertine')
• "I knew when I said yes that this would be not only my first role but also my last one. I'm very happy that it's to be this one."
