I think it's horrible that people have to be told. Don't smoke! Everybody knows it's bad for the health. But they have to forbid it.

If you stick to something doggedly, you are off to a bad start.

I am not a second option person. It is that or nothing. If it is not the way I see it I prefer not to see it.

I'm all self-taught. I never had a teacher. Even for English, and French, and German, I hardly went to school.

I like the present and tomorrow

I don't have prejudices. I'm against taboos. But of course there are some things I'll never touch - because as a mom, there are things one doesn't want their children to be around.

What I like about music is the songs you can remember the lines of in a single second. The Beatles, The Rolling Stones... You can remember every line to their songs. But today, how often do you remember any of the lines to songs? I mean, I know that one of the Lily Allen's last albums is called It's Not Me, It's You. But I don't know how the songs go.
