You need a bit more to be a pop star than just a good voice.

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

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

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

I want to conquer the world and it seems like my own family is putting a stop to 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.

When you're together with someone for some time, you will automatically depend on them as if they were a crutch. And then it ends.
