• I make many mistakes. Many mistakes. I'm not a perfect human being. I have to learn from my mistakes. And a lot of the ones I've made have been public. So I always get nervous when people speak about something that sounds like a role model, because I don't know if I've been a great role model myself.

• I guess I cringe, because sometimes I don't even watch my live performances back. When I edit, it's this feeling of seeing my mistakes. It's always a mixture of loving characters, but being the artist that created it and not trying to go too deep in criticizing myself.

• I give myself the luxury of time in shaping a song. It's very common for me to work three months or more on a single song. Plotting takes time and effort, for there are many false turns. I fill up pages and pages with my mistakes, thereby eliminating them. Eventually a trail is broken through this mountain of mistakes. Sometimes it's as easy as putting eggs in a basket; other times it's like trying to pound a ton of sand into a diamond.

• How do you remember everything from different books when you are still writing the HP series? As obsessive fans will tell you, I do slip up!

But the essentials remain consistent from book to book because the story has been plotted for a long time and it is clear in my mind.

• The way I photograph... in many ways it's directed by chance and all my mistakes, which are often the best stuff.

And I never put it on pause, or use any of that fancy equipment.
