I don't think it's a very nice idea [making biopic] at all. I don't think my life is that interesting.

I love words, I think they're fascinating and incredibly wonderful things and part of the joy of my work is that I not only get to work with music but also with words. Sometimes it's a difficult process but a lot of the time it's really fun.

I'm always hunting and prowling. I'm sure Brian [Bath] was exaggerating!

My father was always playing the piano. He played all kinds of music - Gershwin, all kinds of stuff. He was really a hugely encouraging force to me when I was little.

With some of the songs, we brought the pitch down to alto.I'm older, so naturally my voice is lower now.

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

As an artist, you're never happy with anything you do. It's part of the process.
