You experimented with a lot of musical styles. What's next?
It's hard to say where I'm going next, because my next record isn't finished.
You used to go to acting classes before you got into music. Did you ever consider becoming an actress?
That's what I wanted to do initially. I left school and joined a traveling theater company. We didn't have money for hotels. So we used to camp in parks. It was brilliant. Then I met William. He liked my voice and decided I should be a singer. It was queer because singing was something I never had in mind.
Is it true that the best time of a woman's life is in her thirties?
Well. Someone's been telling me that it really starts at forty. She is a wonderful woman. And she says the 30s are just as hard as the 20s, hut in a different way. They are just confusing. But when you get to forty, it's just extraordinary. Apparently, the whole world opens up.
What would you like to achieve before you're... say.., sixty?
I'd love to learn how to play the violin but not before I'm sixty. I'd like to do it in the next year or so. One of the first instruments I learned was the drums. And I am quite good at that coordination in a strange way.
