That is one of the things about going on tour, that I get to work with some really talented people and it allows me to be able to listen to them as well - and just have fun on stage.

When I was younger I was obsessed with writing, so even if I wanted to listen, I didnt have time.

Yesterday I was playing Beethovens fifth, because I love that.

I am not in love / But I'm open to persuasion.

I've always written in a free, unencumbered way.

You don't have to be rich and famous. You just have to be an ordinary person, doing extraordinary things. I'd like more people to know that it's there. Women's achievements still aren't recognised enough in many areas.

So, the combination of looking at lots of different people and how they react to each other and how they relate to each other and waiting for that inspiration is the thing that allows me to keep writing.
