Yazoo is the name of an old blues label and also a town in America. I like it because it doesn't mean a thing, it has no immediate connotations. That's what I hate about so many names today - they're so obviously fashionable.

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

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.

When you make a lot of money for a record company, they don't want you to evolve. Growing older, you naturally do.

I wasn't good at being affable. You get beyond that and realise the attraction in any human being has more to do with what they give to someone rather than just being face candy.

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