When you find yourself on stage singing and you are embarrassed about what you are singing in front of your peers, then you have to think about your priorities.

The press Yazoo were receiving were focused on the voice, This obviously was about trends.

I was a single parent, and I was prohibited from working.

It wasn't like I felt I was on a wave. It was just so easy. It is only afterwards that I thought I really had a bit of good luck going on there with Yazoo.

Instead of thinking that's a nice tune, you start thinking is it the right pace, is it the right tempo? That is the death nell for artists.

When you have a creative mind it doesn't stop going.

I've always been "other." I've always felt odd; I have always felt foreign in the environment I've been in. When you are young, that is a really uncomfortable thing to feel. As an older woman I really embrace it.
