If the 70's freed our inhibitions, what good did it do?

You don't have to give up who you are to be successful just because you're different.

If there's ever been a dark moment in my life... well, I wanted to check out. Music was a big escape.

My mum had a very strong moral code, which I kind of came with. I never really had to be told what was right or wrong - I knew. I was very mature from early on and I was a very good girl, so she never had any trouble with me.

My guitar and singing was my way of crying.

I think it's important to have a happy parent.

My family was musical on both sides. My father’s family had a famous flautist and a classical pianist. My mother won a contest to be Shirley Temple’s double — she was the diva of the family. At 8, I learned how to play guitar. I used to play songs from the ‘20s, ‘30s and ‘40s in the kitchen for my grandmother.
