Most women are dissatisfied with their appearance - it's the stuff that fuels the beauty and fashion industries.

I am fascinated by history and particularly the Victorian era.

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.

Each individual is as individual as their fingerprints, and I think that's extraordinary.

I'm from a working-class background, and I've experienced that worry of not having a job next week because the unions are going on strike.

To be labeled as a strong woman when you feel vulnerable is a strange place to be, because then you're, like, "Oh, I have to be strong now. But I don't feel strong. I feel alienated. I feel isolated. I feel that things are very surreal, and they're not authentic, and this is all just very overwhelming."

We're all born, and if you're going to live to be elderly, you'll have gone through a life journey different than anyone else's. It's unique to you, but you'll have some common themes.
