writing guitar crap
I'm a crap guitarist and I find it really hard writing on my own.
records company written
Bananarama were written off from day one. Nobody believed in us but us. We kept having hits despite the record company, despite the press.
thinking two insane
When do you know you're insane? And when do you known you're sane? I think I treat a fine line between the two. It's a battle to function, but somehow I manage.
song holiday singing
I love to sing old Motown songs to myself, or some Patti Smith Edith Piaf or Billie Holiday. That gets me in the mood for singing.
gay icons people
I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
mother wife trying
I'm a hopeless mother; a hopeless wife; I have to try harder. I'm just a pathetic case history, really.
depression laughing people
Depression scares people off. It makes me laugh that it has that kind of effect.
hero home men
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.
lasts saws cinema
I can't remember what the last film I saw was, as I can't smoke or drink in cinemas.
girl easter hate
I absolutely hate Take That, East 17, the Spice Girls.
people age young
I'm still grappling with all the things most people resolve by the time they're 35. Maybe that's why I make music that is relevant to young people. I'm emotionally stuck at the age of 13.
jesus reflection culture
I'm absolutely obsessed with The Jesus And Mary Chain and Patti Smith, but I'm a massive pop fan. I love pop culture, It's a total reflection of the zeitgeist.
being-a-woman crap
Being a woman is really crap.
song rage violent
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.
