You are only a young talent, but we don't know how old your soul is.

I think when you've lived a bit, you read more into the songs. I do, anyway. And you're sort of living the songs rather than performing them.

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

I couldn't do the heavy rock thing anymore. Noddy Holder was around kicking every singer in the ***. I never wanted to be a pop singer. Christ, how I hated Noddy!

As for the music business itself, the key things have not changed that much. It operates like any business and money still keeps things moving.

First of all, I love singing. I mean, I get out of bed and I sing. I can't help it.

You can't be a sexy person unless you have something sexy to offer. With me, it's my voice: the way that I sing, the way I express myself when I sing.
