I've got to where I've always wanted to be. I just feel more myself, and I've learned not to care what other people think. It's happened slowly, very slowly. But I did it.

I don't talk about my private life.

Working with David Bowie was very interesting, but I couldn't surrender to it. I should have let him produce a record for me, but I'm very perverse in some ways. He's brilliant, but the entourage were rather daunting.

I've learnt to accept what has happened to my voice, I suppose, but I do wish it didn't sound quite so rough.

I was anorexic in the 60s and 70s, although it wasn't called anorexia then. I thought people would be nicer to me if I looked very small and delicate, so food wasn't high on my agenda. But it is now.

France has been very good for me. It has given me a very worldly-cool attitude.

I am not frightened of much, but I wouldn't like to get ill.
