This is what I am. I have periods of enormous self-destructive depression, where I go completely off my trolley and lose all sight of reality and reason.

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

[Bananarama] were written off from day one. Nobody believed in us but us. We kept having hits despite the record company, despite the press

I come from the home-grown punk ethic, where it doesn't matter if you can't play a note, it's how you communicate.

I'm a crap guitarist and I find it really hard writing on my own.

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.

Being a woman is really crap.
