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

Fashion goes round in circles.

I've tended to avoid meeting my heroes. They aren't necessarily the nicest people anyway. The exception was George Harrison, one of the loveliest men I've ever met. He lent me his home studio to make Hormonally Yours.

I just can't seem to write songs about peace and love. Yeah right, how do you get that?

The ultimate revenge is being on Top Of The Pops.

It's refreshing to hear something that's pop but doesn't sound like Britney Spears.

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.
