I'm a tame actress. I get tired now that I'm entertaining day and night professionally. I think the only reason for going to a party is to pick up a good lay. When you've got a permanent boyfriend it's rather spoilt. Because the fun of a party is to flirt with everyone. I like flirting.

I'm sick of being self-referential. I don't want to do any more songs that can be accused of being personal.

I like my work, but my life always comes first. I always wanted to have a beautiful life, and the way to do it is in show business.

My first job was singing at the Hammersmith Odeon. It was years ago, so I can't remember who I was performing with. I was a sort of anti-climax after two hours of heavy rock-'n'-roll. Seventeen years old in a white dress. It was the first time that I got applause. Wonderful, that noise in my ears.

I think drugs were used by me as a way of suppressing my natural spirit.

I never saw myself as beautiful. I can look back and see it now, but then? Never.

I serve black tea, which I call Froggy tea. And I have green teas and all sorts of nice teas. I'm serving tea all the time.
