Occupation: Singer Birth: November 18, 1960
My life is so full of surprises, nothing surprises me any more..
I don't take myself seriously any more. Sometimes I just garden in my knickers and platform shoes..
I don't mind being laughed at: that's something I really don't mind, and I think that's kept me sane. My ability to laugh at myself and allow others ….
Real talent will get through whatever the obstacles..
Performing, I can take it or leave it. Horticulture is far more challenging. I'm absolutely fascinated by it..
The record company really pissed me off when they told me to lose weight. I couldn't be bothered with looking a certain way. So I left the business. ….
You need a bit more to be a pop star than just a good voice..
You're full of insecurities in your 20s - most of the time your heart's being broken, you're having a difficult time finding out who the hell you are….
Being blonde now doesn't mean Marilyn Monroe vulnerability. Blonde in the Eighties means being in control..
Don't let your dreams escape / The future's ours to shape.
I want to conquer the world and it seems like my own family is putting a stop to that..
Gardening is not something to get on your high horse about or be overwhelmed by. Either you enjoy it or you don't..
You can't close your eyes to the lies perpetrated by dangerous fools / 'cos they're handing out rules.
Snap your fingers and somebody runs / You don't care how they feel just as long as they come / Got your head in the stars now you've come this far / ….
Sex does not exist for me at all. I haven't had a boyfriend for a long time. There were only three or four in my life up until now anyway..
My father has taught me all the tricks of the boys at an early age, which has made me very careful..
I still tune in to the radio and listen to pop music and enjoy it as much as I ever have..
There is sadness and confusion in our hearts / And the world prepares to fight / as it tears itself apart, it isn't fair.
I signed up for the musical Tommy in the West End, where I met my husband..
My tears of love are a waste of time if I turn away.
And while we destroy / Our children will grow / Not missing the things they'll never know / A crime against them / Against you and me / A crime again….
