My parents have a wonderful marriage, for many years. But I can’t commit myself for such a long time.

I didn’t spend much time in America, which probably was a mistake. To someone else, having a number one in America would be enough to get them touring.

When you’re together with someone for some time, you will automatically depend on them as if they were a crutch. And then it ends.

I was very, very fortunate. I knew that. I’ve always known that.

Performing, I can take it or leave it. Horticulture is far more challenging. I’m absolutely fascinated by it.

Careers don’t seem to be built up in the same way as they were in the 80s.

I’d got married and wanted to have kids, so had kids, brought them up, did other things, and slowly got back into music. And it feels great, having one foot in the present, writing and covering interesting songs, and having one foot in the past.

Gardening is not something to get on your high horse about or be overwhelmed by. Either you enjoy it or you don’t.

Being blonde now doesn’t mean Marilyn Monroe vulnerability. Blonde in the Eighties means being in control.

My tears of love are a waste of time if I turn away.
