interesting people world
I love interesting people with eccentric stories and outsiders of the world.
trying sticks brands
I try not to brand myself 'weird' any more because it sticks.
profound style stuff
I'm not a pop act, churning stuff out really quickly. I find the music that arises from that style of working is distracted, not particularly profound.
schedules
You cannot schedule death.
elation feels billboards
You feel a sense of elation seeing yourself on a billboard.
song distance writing
When you research prolific songwriters, it is usually later in their career they write songs that they distance themselves from, or it's about other people.
children kids thinking
I think that there should be options available, quite early on, that if someone is recognised as a disruptive child, for them to be trained vocationally. Maybe if those kids were given the option to learn how to contribute to society on a practical level they wouldn't get into trouble.
eggs scotch meals
I was mainly raised by a working mum who didn't have much time or inclination for making food. So I had three or four basic meals: fish fingers and a tomato; a packet scotch egg and a tomato; pasta with a tin of tomatoes; and extra mild plastic-y cheddar chopped into cubes with bits of cucumber.
stupid wish kites
I wish I was more stupid because I'm either completely ecstatic and joyous and absolutely high as a kite or I'm a bit morbid. There's never anything in between.
holiday home shopping
I'm not one for sightseeing or going around the shops when I'm on holiday. I do enough shopping when I'm at home, and like to have a complete break when I'm away.
want come-up evidence
If I go out with no make-up and a tracksuit on, nobody comes up to me. And if they do, I won't do a photo because I wouldn't want any photographic evidence.
silly people records
Anybody who says they don't want to be seen on a show which has millions of people watching it at one time when they're in the business of selling records is a bit silly.
mistake world tripping
Once you accept that we're all imperfect, it's the most liberating thing in the world. Then you can go around making mistakes and saying the wrong thing and tripping over on the street and all that and not feel worried.
eyebrows frida thick
There's nothing wrong with a thick eyebrow; Frida Kahlo had them.
