I'd rather be on my own than be with a violent man.

I go running three times a week - outside in the park, come rain or shine, and I hate every moment of it. I hate everything about it. But I know it's important for health reasons and the reason why I run, in particular, is because my stage work is like cardiovascular work so I don't want to lose my breath on stage.

I'm not interested in what other people are doing. That's their business.

When you research prolific songwriters, it is usually later in their career they write songs that they distance themselves from, or it's about other people.

I don't have a competitive bone in my body, so the last thing I want to do is be competing with people.

I'm under no illusion that there are things about me that I'd like to change. I just accept who I am, and I'm proud of it.

I was once in a long relationship with a man who ran a vintage clothes store but had been a chef, so I'd come home each night to a different three-course meal. I was quite fat, but so happy.
