I'm not really comfortable singing without accompanying myself on stage - I'm not used to it.

Where I come from, you don't really talk about how much you're earning. Those things are private. My dad never told my mum how much he was earning. I'm certainly not going to tell the world. I'm doing well.

I lost my voice. I'd never had to cancel a show before and I had to walk around with a pad and a pen, writing things down.

The music publishing I own is fabulous recording.

I'm often reading a magazine and hearing about someone's new record, and I think: "Oh, boy, that's gonna be better than me". It's a very common thing.

I don't have any desire to learn. I feel it's like a voodoo, that it would spoil things if I actually learnt how things are done.

I realize now that taking drugs was like taking an aspirin without having a headache.
