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.

I enjoy multi-tasking, so I want to do a lot of different things. I want to keep all the plates spinning.

I also started writing songs because I had this burning activity in my heart and had to express myself.

There's always darkness around, and if you focus on the darkness, you don't know where to go. But if you direct yourself at the light - there it is! It's right there.

One wouldn't want to have the same dilemmas at 50 as one had at 15. And indeed I don't. I have a very different take on life.

I find beauty in a very independent state. It lives quietly. It's there to be discovered.

When women get together as a group, it is immensely powerful.
