You've got to go with what feels instinctive and true to your heart, and filter out all of the other stuff.

I don't think that just because you go on stage you are an exhibitionist.

No one ever recognises me. Everyone says, 'You don't look like your pictures.'

I love escaping into film, because everyday life I find quite troublesome. So any excuse to go into a cinema and say goodbye to the world for a couple of hours, or in a book or whatever, is great.

I live on the edge of Bath. It's really lovely, but its very loveliness freaks me out a bit. It's peaceful, a great antidote to the craziness of being on tour, but sometimes I feel as though I've retired.

I think a lot of singers are shy people. I suppose singing on stage is not like talking; you are not as exposed.
