I am not a composer of music; I sing pieces which have been written for me which gives me bigger freedom to search for pieces I want to record.

I have a love-hate relationship with performing.

When I sing, I close my eyes. If I see a feather, everything is fine. Without this image in my mind, the sound is not 'truthful' enough and I must begin again. I have to.

I am not quite sure where home is right now. I do have places in London and Milan, and a house in Spain. I guess I would say home is where my mother is, and she lives in Spain.

I can't be a wife. I'm not that sort of person. Wives have to compromise all the time.

I've always been interested in space and the idea of exploration in that area since I was a child growing up through the '60s.
