I get female groupies, but I don't get male groupies. I have women who offer to sleep with me all the time. But not men. They're all talk and nay action -- as we'd say in Scotland. If I go anywhere near most of our male following, they are freaked. Absolutely freaked. I think my height has got a lot to do with it. I'm really tall. I'm five-eight, and with heels, I'm six foot, so people are like. 'Whoa, Amazon!' People are a wee taken aback by that 'cause I think people expect me to be small.

Starbucks is my main fix and it's usually you people working in there - sometimes they're actually shaking. It just makes me feel horrendous because I've been in that situation.

We're living in a time when people are struggling to appear perfect.

I say embrace the total geek in yourself and just enjoy it. Life is too short to be cool.

I've got a lot of stamina and I enjoy people, so having lots of people around doesn't freak me out.

I am laughably aggressive, and the rest of the band is very laid back, so we mix well.

I'm 41, I'm a woman, not a kid. I have no interest in making silly pop music.
