My dad always had music playing around us and he was always a happy chirpy man with a beautiful voice. I was always singing around the house and I assumed that's what all families did. It wasn't until I went through that nasty teenage stage that I started to realise that wasn't the case.

I've never been a boyfriend kind of girl.

I don't understand, Why do I stress the man, When there's so many bigger things at hand?

I listen to music that is of our time and I just get angry.

There are certain songs I cannot hear because they are so personal that it hurts me to listen.

I wanted to be Snoopy's girlfriend and when I got older I wanted to be Bart Simpson's girlfriend. Then I couldn't decide whether I wanted marry Snoopy or Michael Jackson - because he was God to me - or to just be them.

Here in England, everyone's a pop star, innit, whereas in America they believe in the term artist.
