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

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.

If you're a musician and an artist, you don't just stop.

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

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.

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.

Being a woman is really crap.
