My life is so full of surprises, nothing surprises me any more.

I don't take myself seriously any more. Sometimes I just garden in my knickers and platform shoes.

Sex does not exist for me at all. I haven't had a boyfriend for a long time. There were only three or four in my life up until now anyway.

When I was 15, I was naive, looked like a grey mouse and felt second choice.

The big labels have less of a stranglehold on artists and how they record and where they go.

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.

I got to show off in front of my husband, who married me as I was stepping out of the business, so he had no idea that I could strut my stuff on the stage.
