In reply to Banks Is Better.

Sia has stated in interviews that she, at times, struggles with mental health issues. These issues almost caused her to quit being in the business. She also self-medicated for a while to deal that that by abusing alcohol and drugs. She also has phobias. The lack of "eye balling" attention helps her cope with her success in the industry. And, yes, she did admit that her "experiment" of covering her face turned out to be genius as it caused more people to focus on her. She said she filled a gap in the industry because there was a "lack of mystery" in today's artists.
