I suppose in some ways doing some of the songs in the show felt a bit like I was doing cover versions. I was covering myself. Not that they didn't feel like my songs, but the way I was approaching them was from a place so outside where they were written. The fact that these songs were in the context of a live show was a new thing.

That doesn't matter. If it speaks to them and they get something positive from it, it's great.

But I don't have a very good track record with royalty. My dress fell off in front of Prince Charles at the Prince's Trust, so I'm just living up to my reputation.

The world is continually changing. I think in some ways it's changing in a very positive way.

Some of the best pop music ever has come out of the States.
