Normally, you should be dead if you have a retrospective.

I have a four-and-a-half-, nearly five-octave range. I probably should have had extra lessons as a child, as I am certain my family heard my potential, but I didn't. I was in the choir as a schoolgirl, but really, it is all self-taught.

Life is full of banana skins. You slip, you carry on.

Through art, you create your own world.

I'm normally late, so I just kind of throw on the sort of thing that's at hand. And then I'll go through phases of wearing the same thing again and again and again - and my wardrobe is mainly about black and white, so it goes together. I'll play with certain elements, but I don't really think about it too much.

It's quite nice to have a place to leave things. You can be a permanent gypsy, but it's nice to go home.
