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. – Sia Furler
I’m a fan of the Strokes, so my big fantasy was that one day I would get to sing with them. – 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. – Sia Furler
I’m really visually stimulated more than anything. I don’t really listen to music. I’m more into watching telly or watching movies and visual art. – Sia Furler
I’m sort of a gay man trapped in a woman’s body when it comes to music sometimes – it’s crowded in here! – Sia Furler
There are probably five songs in the world that I get excited about when I hear them on the radio. – Sia Furler
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. – Sia Furler
People aren’t honest about the horrors of fame. The downsides are so overwhelming that, for me, there is no payoff. – Sia Furler
I think it would be very difficult to maintain one kind of art or whatever for your whole life. I think it’s unrealistic. – Sia Furler
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. – Sia Furler
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. – Sia Furler
I don’t really even go out that much now except to walk my dogs, because I don’t want to be recognised. – Sia Furler
I liked myself much more before I got famous. I was much friendlier and had more energy. – Sia Furler
I’ll be the songwriter for pop stars and then they can be the front person and I don’t have to be famous. – Sia Furler
I have social anxiety. It’s easier up on stage because there’s security in being there. When I’m off stage I’m trying not to be a manic freak. I’m quite shy. – Sia Furler
