No stranger ever comes up and talks to me. I'm the invisible woman.
-
The ultimate revenge is being on Top Of The Pops.
-
I've seen many of my contemporaries become superstars, and the way fame and fortune starts to really affect the way they treat other people, and I think it's ugly.
-
I'm a crap guitarist and I find it really hard writing on my own.
-
[Bananarama] were written off from day one. Nobody believed in us but us. We kept having hits despite the record company, despite the press
-
I'm quite repulsed by the diva type.
-
This is what I am. I have periods of enormous self-destructive depression, where I go completely off my trolley and lose all sight of reality and reason.
-
I absolutely hate Take That, East 17, the Spice Girls.
-
If this world is wearing thin And you're thinking of escape I'll go anywhere with you Just wrap me up in chains But if you try to go alone Don't think I'll understand Stay with me, stay with me.
-
I'm a hopeless mother; a hopeless wife; I have to try harder. I'm just a pathetic case history, really.
-
I watched my mother waste her life on housework and swore I'd never do that. Dave does the cooking.
-
I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
-
Music is a gut thing. You're working in a medium which is more in touch with the primal than the modern. A gig is a ritual. There's a congregation.
-
There's a lot of rage you have to express it somehow. If I didn't express it in song, I'd become incredibly violent.
-
I've always craved to belong to somewhere, but I never have and never will.
-
Pop music allows you to be who you are without having to wear a social uniform or to conform, which some people find impossible to do.
-
I carry on in my own narrow little tunnel and we have very different experiences of life even though we live together.
-
I've always been an outsider; a displaced person.
-
Being a woman is really crap.
-
Life is a process of working out what's not working for you and disentangling yourself from it and trying then not walk into the same thing again. Watching your patterns and correcting them if you can.
-
I've tended to avoid meeting my heroes. They aren't necessarily the nicest people anyway. The exception was George Harrison, one of the loveliest men I've ever met. He lent me his home studio to make Hormonally Yours.
-
It's refreshing to hear something that's pop but doesn't sound like Britney Spears.
-
Fashion goes round in circles.
-
Most of my life I've had long periods of feeling down and lost. That's why every five years or so I've smashed my life to pieces and started again.
