You find what you are best at and stick to it. I found my sound early on. Look at U2: they haven't changed their music for 20 years. Anyway, many people come unstuck when they try to change what they do and what they are known for.

You don't have to be rich and famous. You just have to be an ordinary person, doing extraordinary things. I'd like more people to know that it's there. Women's achievements still aren't recognised enough in many areas.

I am not in love / But I'm open to persuasion.

When you're on tour you definitely don't want lots of arguments. It's very important that everybody gets on because you're in close proximity a great deal of the time.

So, the combination of looking at lots of different people and how they react to each other and how they relate to each other and waiting for that inspiration is the thing that allows me to keep writing.

Classical, Romantic, and Baroque music, that's what I really like.

I don't listen to a lot of music, and wouldn't necessarily sit down and put on the radio. If I did, I'd probably put on a bit of classical stuff.

When I was younger I was obsessed with writing, so even if I wanted to listen, I didnt have time.

I've written what and when I want to. It's been about expressing myself. But with the degree, I had to learn to do everything in a very specific, disciplined way. I am very disciplined, but this demanded a totally different kind of discipline. A real challenge.

I've always written in a free, unencumbered way.
