I've carved out a career for myself really as a writer.

The fact that religion plays such a part in how people vote troubles me, troubles me as a minister's daughter. Because I always felt that the separation of church and state was what our forefathers and foremothers really fought for.

I don't feel I'm as good a mum as my mum was.

I'm a mother, and that's really important. Today, the mother and the musician can sit next to each other. Even when the musician is out there in full swing, the mother doesn't get switched off.

I'm standing naked before you. Don't you want more than sex?

I really respect anybody who stands by their truth.

Being in your forties - any woman who isn't there yet, I just have to say to you: Euphoria is coming to you.
