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

I signed up for the musical Tommy in the West End, where I met my husband.

My father has taught me all the tricks of the boys at an early age, which has made me very careful.

Dad is my best mate and I can tell Mum absolutely anything. I really appreciate Mum and Dad. Why are we so close? Young parents, I think. The rock business keeps their minds young.

I'd got married and wanted to have kids, so had kids, brought them up, did other things, and slowly got back into music. And it feels great, having one foot in the present, writing and covering interesting songs, and having one foot in the past.

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

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