Move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.

I always said that if I could just find a guy who could chop wood and had a nice smile, it wouldn't bother me if he was a thug or an aristocrat, as long as he was a good guy. And I've ended up with an educated thug.

People generally let me be me. People are aware that I'm not someone particularly begging for attention. They hold back a bit with me.

I've made sacrifices. I'm not anti-fashion but I've always had a bit of a punk attitude. That's important, I think. I do my own thing.

I have no technical training and am completely uneducated in music.

I've never associated myself with other singers, certainly not female singers.

London was a really multi-racial city ... It's incredible how comfortable people are with race there.
