I'm too much of a control freak.

Life for rent means that my life isn't really my own, I only rented it for a while, but if I don't manage to buy it, to own it, then nothing of what I think is mine is really mine.

It's actually amazing because you go so far into another side of your brain when you're studying something completely different, and I loved it.

I always want to bring emotion across in a straightforward way. I don't want to get histrionic when I'm singing. For me that's just not interesting; it goes too far down one road.

Why don't I watch the ocean?My lover's gone.No earthly ships will ever bring him home againbring him home again.

It's great to just disappear, grab a suitcase, switch the answering machine on and just go somewhere else.

I feel very warm towards Mum and Dad for giving us the independence they did. My childhood, and the fact we didn't have a TV, gave me a boundless imagination.
