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

When do you know you're insane? And when do you known you're sane? I think I treat a fine line between the two. It's a battle to function, but somehow I manage.

Pop music allows you to be who you are without having to wear a social uniform or to conform, which some people find impossible to do.

Music is a gut thing. You're working in a medium which is more in touch with the primal than the modern. A gig is a ritual. There's a congregation.

The ultimate revenge is being on Top Of The Pops.

Being a woman is really crap.

I've seen many of my contemporaries become superstars, and the way fame and fortune starts to really affect the way they treat other people, and I think it's ugly.
