I love to sing old Motown songs to myself, or some Patti Smith Edith Piaf or Billie Holiday. That gets me in the mood for singing.

I watched my mother waste her life on housework and swore I'd never do that. Dave does the cooking.

I'm a hopeless mother; a hopeless wife; I have to try harder. I'm just a pathetic case history, really.

I'm absolutely obsessed with The Jesus And Mary Chain and Patti Smith, but I'm a massive pop fan. I love pop culture, It's a total reflection of the zeitgeist.

No stranger ever comes up and talks to me. I'm the invisible woman.

Most of my life I've had long periods of feeling down and lost. That's why every five years or so I've smashed my life to pieces and started again.

I'm quite repulsed by the diva type.
