I was full of fire when I was young. I wanted to attack anything.

Oh yeah, I would have been a coal miner, I would think, if I hadn't had tuberculosis when I was 12.

Whenever I've been asked to be in a film, directors only want me to play myself... I'm fascinated by the thought of being an actor, but it's too hard. And I think Shakespeare-which has been suggested to me-might be a bit of a stretch.

Time is my enemy. Time will catch up with me vocally. And I dread that. I dread to think about life without singing.

I've tried wearing more than one ring on one hand and it doesn't look good. It's overkill, I think. So I think a ring on either hand. Nine times out of ten I'll go for pinky rings, but not always.

I like to drink to suit my location.

People never talked about my music. They just counted how many knickers were on stage.
