If you come from art, you'll always be art.

My mother was a housewife. Both from - well, my father was from a farming family, agricultural family in the north of England. And my mother came from a very working class.

Every time I've made a radical change it's helped me feel buoyant as an artist

I got a bad migraine that lasted 3 years, and the pills I took made by fingers disappear.

I usually don't agree with what I say very much. I'm an awful liar.

I'm well past the age where I'm acceptable. You get to a certain age and you are forbidden access. You're not going to get the kind of coverage that you would like in music magazines, you're not going to get played on radio and you're not going to get played on television. I have to survive on word of mouth.

I don't like people probing into my life, so I reveal as little as possible or lie about it as much as need be so as to give them something to write about.
