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.

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.

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

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

I didn't spend much time in America, which probably was a mistake. To someone else, having a number one in America would be enough to get them touring.

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.
