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

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'm not very good at cooking, and I'm away all the time, and I like transient living. I get really itchy feet if I stay in one place.

My dad used to ignore me when I was a kid. He couldn't stand my voice, so he just used to ignore me, and then he'd impersonate me.

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