I work with men a lot, and there's a yin and a yang that goes on when you work one guy and one girl. And there's things that I bring that they don't bring and things they bring and I don't bring.
I have a little antennae, and even when I'm trying not to be, I'm connected with the bloody zeitgeist.
I've always been attracted to weirdos.
My da used to sing 'Take Her Up to Monto' to me when we were walking down the street - he still does, actually - because it's got a walking tempo, and I still sing it to myself when I'm walking along.
I don't have a personal stylist, because I don't need one. I just really enjoy meeting designers and picking up clothes.
You can't get a better education in what it is to write songs until you listen to American soul music.
