best chaotic creative left music rebirth
I don't think I would have made 'Blank Project; if I hadn't made 'Cherry Thing.' I think that was a real rebirth in a way, and a remembrance of how I like to make music best, the most. Like being in a more chaotic place, maybe. Like a place of making and being creative where the mistakes can be left in.
became held later panic rig rip saved spinning suddenly thankful
Rip Rig & Panic was a milestone for me, and I've always been really thankful that I did that when I was 16. It saved me for when I suddenly became really successful later on. So even when my head's been spinning like a banshee, my feet still feel held down to the ground.
inspiration inspire doe
I've always looked to other women for inspiration and kicks. When a woman stands up and does her thing, it never ceases to excite and inspire me.
beautiful sexy thinking
I've always had mixed feelings. I don't know if it's any better or worse. I do think there's a really boring side of what's going on now - the over-repetitive, oversexualized thing. There's a lot of women that know better, that are really beautiful and sexy, but it's like: We know you can shake your ass in a G-string and wave it around, it's not that risque. It's not dangerous. It's very obvious and boring.
peace children special
To save my child, I'd rather go hungry. I got all of Ethiopia inside of me.
morning home night
There's been a lot of coming home in the early mornings after funny nights out, having bizarre sandwiches in bed.
tents littles over-it
I had this weird, nomadic little tent with a rug over it, like a booth where I'd sing the vocals.
kids home ibiza
My kids love Ibiza and we feel committed to it because we keep coming back to the same area. People recognise us in shops now and we have a social life here. We cook at home and have friends around.
years time-flies albums
I have absorbed my life now. I am ready for my music to unfold. I know time flies, but before the end of this year, the album will be out. Even if it kills me.
handbags needs bras
Who needs a handbag? I put my money in my bra.
creative feelings records
I've always been doing stuff, being creative. But I got to the point where I starting to feel this longing, craving, itchy feeling - which was the first sign that it was time. I've made a few attempts to make other solo records, but when I've looked back at the body of work I've always felt like I was never quite there.
grandmother strange photo-shoots
Being a grandmother is one of the least strange things in my life. It makes more sense than a lot of things... like photo shoots!
mother children want
When I found out I was pregnant, my mother said, Dont separate your life, the life that youre going to make with this child, from the things that you are and what you want to do.
children reality skins
When a child is born into this world it has no concept of the tone the skin is living in.
