I don't want people to come and see our gig because of the magnificent things I'm doing with my hips, but it's their evening, you know. They have to have fun. I'm a little bit naive.

The business of being a popular entertainer in England is just too hard.

Hard to find and even harder to listen to

I don't enjoy British shows as a rule because British audiences are strange.

I don't trawl record shops anymore. I usually hear music in bars or at friends' houses.

I'm not sure it pays to do anything remotely public in Britain. It's such a spiteful society. People seem to enjoy making your life hard for the sake of it.

I have no musical talent at all. I was banned from music classes and told I would never be able to understand anything. I still don't think I can sing, but somehow I get away with it.
