My parents have a wonderful marriage, for many years. But I can't commit myself for such a long time.

I still tune in to the radio and listen to pop music and enjoy it as much as I ever have.

Performing, I can take it or leave it. Horticulture is far more challenging. I'm absolutely fascinated by it.

I was very, very fortunate. I knew that. I've always known that.

I don't mind being laughed at: that's something I really don't mind, and I think that's kept me sane. My ability to laugh at myself and allow others to laugh at me has been my saving grace.

You're full of insecurities in your 20s - most of the time your heart's being broken, you're having a difficult time finding out who the hell you are, and I was trying to do that in the full glare of the public.

Careers don't seem to be built up in the same way as they were in the 80s.
