I wouldn't have known when I was a teenager that when I was coming up to being a sixty-year-old woman that I'd be making music, I'd be recording music, talking about music, and incorporating my views on the world into the music-making. So it's a very rarefied place to be, and I'm very grateful for that.

Although I have lived in London, I have never really considered London my home because it was always going to be a stopping-off point for me, and it has been too.

When you get to be nearly 60, you do take stock. You don't know what's around the corner.

I don't feel there are enough women artists out there who are saying anything of tremendous relevance.

For me, pointing and clicking my phone is absolutely fine. People say that isn't the art of photography but I don't agree.

The inner world is very potent for me - I don't ascribe to any God or Jesus or Buddha - I just have a sense of it and revere it along with the natural world and human consciousness.

I have different hats; I'm a mother, I'm a woman, I'm a human being, I'm an artist and hopefully I'm an advocate. All of those plates are things I spin all the time.
