All the cliches of glamorous sophistication have little appeal to me. Do I want to live the British version of 'Dynasty?' No thanks!

I love writing songs.

If you're only making an album every 10 years, it better be good.

I'm not over the top; I'm not wacky. I'm fairly understated, and that reflects in the way I sing.

I don't like looking outrageous.

I don't get easily bored. I'm not that kind of person.

I look a lot like my father and his mother.
