album country incredibly indie market married music record
They said I was a married mother of two but the record sounded like an indie album and they didn't know how to market it! This country is incredibly sexist, as is the music and media industry.
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.

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.

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 have this massive love for the whole culture of pop music. It's my fascination, my ongoing passion.

I consider the Stooges to be pop music.
home play matter
I come from the home-grown punk ethic, where it doesn't matter if you can't play a note, it's how you communicate.
love song peace
I just can't seem to write songs about peace and love. Yeah right, how do you get that?

I watched my mother waste her life on housework and swore I'd never do that. Dave does the cooking.

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.

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.

Fashion goes round in circles.

We were signed to a label that wanted us to remain little girls who appealed to other little girls, who were cute and non-threatening.
planets creatures felt
I never belonged anywhere. I just felt like a creature from another planet.
