All I have to do is what's right for me.

I got my interest in Lotte Lenya and the Brecht-Weill canon from my parents. And I love classical music - I got that from my parents. I love Cole Porter - that I got from my dad.

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

My story is really an affirmation of my strength and my luck. To live with a great artist like Ted Hughes or Mick Jagger is a very, very destructive role for a woman trying to be herself. In fact, it can't be done.

If I let myself sink into depression, I won't be able to get out. And then I'll be awfully unhappy. I just have to turn my face to the light and walk on. And trust that things will be all right.

I'm interested in time, fame, death, beauty, truth, all those things.

Of course I have regrets; I'm not stupid.
