My voice adapts itself to the music. I can do a lot more than you hear in Portishead.

Let's get one thing straight: there's no such thing as the Bristol sound.

The blackness of darkness, forever.

I thought I had a clear picture of death, but now I know it's a mystery and it will always be a mystery, although it is something we all have in common: everybody knows that life ends with death.

The music comes first. When Geoff has made something the inspiration comes automatically. His music is very expressive. But still is is a very difficult process: I have to add something to his music, not push it away. It has to be equal, and I find that very difficult.

I am a very sensitive person, very impulsive and emotional.

There's not only emotion in the way you sing but also in what you sing. That way I can compensate it.
