I get painted quite a bit as a tragic figure because of some of the stuff that's happened in my life.

Sometimes you need to take a departure from what you do to something that's slightly different in order to get inspiration.

Music is always a reflection of what's going on in the hearts and minds of the culture.

Give me life, give me pain, give me myself again.

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'm a classic emerald green Sixties Jaguar that nobody can own, but my husband is allowed to drive.

I'm a grown woman. I've earned my experiences, my scars.
