It's ridiculous, really. It's a very ordinary flat, though I like it because it's got all my things in it. It's just far enough out to be nice and quiet. I'd like to live in the country really, but the flat's best for the moment, while I'm working in London, because I can't drive. I wanted to get some sort of bodily expression together to go with the music.
Music is a very emotional thing and there's always a message.
Your purpose as a performer is to get it across to the people in as many ways as you can. I just lived in the world of the song for days and days, dancing it, getting it right. I never felt too young to be a musician. I'd written since I was fourteen, and my only ambition was to get ten songs on to a piece of plastic. It couldn't have happened fast enough.
