age alienate anyone dances school
I was writing from the age of 10, and I was never really into going to discos and dances and stuff. I never told anyone at school that I did that because I feared it would alienate me even more.
cope learnt school
School was a very cruel environment, and I was a loner. But I learnt to get hurt, and I learnt to cope with it.
beginning best gave giving keen quite realised saw school serious singing stubborn
My parents weren't keen on the giving up of school at the beginning to go into singing and dancing, but once they saw I was serious about it, they gave support. I was quite stubborn about my decision, and in the end, they realised it was for the best.
hurt school loner
School was a very cruel environment and I was a loner. But I learnt to get hurt and I learnt to cope with it.
children school responsibility
For me, having a child is a really great responsibility because you've got something there that is depending on you for information and love until a certain age when it goes to school.
snowflake
It's so fascinating to think about how each snowflake is completely individual - there are millions and millions of them, but each one is so unique.
I am just a quiet reclusive person who has managed to hang around for a while.
aware female media people promoted prove wrote
People weren't even aware that I wrote my own songs. The media just promoted me as a female body. It's like I've had to prove that I'm an artist.
family
I was aware of a lot of my friends being into things I wasn't into. Like sarcasm. It had never been a part of my family - they still don't use sarcasm.
people weirdo
I suppose I do think I go out of my way to be a very normal person, and I just find it frustrating that people think that I'm some kind of weirdo reclusive that never comes out into the world.
exist hand people track
I understand that people want to just listen to a track and put it on their iPod, and that's fine, there's nothing wrong with that, but why can't that exist hand in hand with an album? They're such different experiences.
bad music people
The music industry is in such poor shape; it's in a really bad way, and a lot of people in the industry are very depressed.
freedom music
The freedom you feel when you're actually in control of your own music is fantastic.
encouraged work
Thanks to everyone who's encouraged and supported my work over the years.
