I write by myself and then deliver the song. Everybody knows, 'Leave Ester alone when she's in her zone.' Give me a studio and the tracks, and I'll call you when the doctor is done.

You can't please everybody. I give up. I'm not trying to. I don't care. Leave me alone with that.

My missus knows to leave me alone.

I write in the studio.

I'm limitless, spontaneous and fearless. I can take direction and also give it. And I don't dwell on celebrity.

I'm not everybody's cup of tea. But sometimes criticism can be hurtful. Be respectful. I'm a good piano player, I can sing well, I write good songs. If you don't like it, fair enough. But give me a break.
