It is interesting seeing young people these days and watching how unimportant music is in their lives compared with our generation.

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

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.

Within three months I had gone from being this black sheep of the town to suddenly becoming a pop star.

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 have a creative mind it doesn't stop going.

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.
