I had a very strict upbringing with my dad and was very close to my mum, who was extremely loving.

I don't know what a shrink would call me. I don't want to know.

I believe in eating. I think women especially have this fear of eating, and I think there is a whole euphoric plane you can rise to when you have a good meal. You sit down and with every bite you honestly just say thank you.

Everybody told me this 'girl on the piano' thing was never going to work.

Men have periods too, they just don't bleed.

My husband doesn't know what my songs are about - even when they're about him. He's very British in that way. He doesn't ask, and he doesn't want to be told.

I wanted to do something creatively, having been a beached whale for many months and nursing my daughter.
