When I was younger I was obsessed with writing, so even if I wanted to listen, I didn't have time.
From Joan Armatrading
Right from day one, you know when you've written a good song.
It's a very organic process, and it has a specific order to it. I love to write, and once you've written, then you arrange. After the arrangement, you record it, and then you tour it.
I love to go on tour and perform. I love all the parts of the process.
Writing music is just something that I was born to do.
My mother bought a piano, put it in the front room, and I just started writing my songs.
You don't have to be rich and famous. You just have to be an ordinary person, doing extraordinary things. I'd like more people to know that it's there. Women's achievements still aren't recognised enough in many areas.
So, the combination of looking at lots of different people and how they react to each other and how they relate to each other and waiting for that inspiration is the thing that allows me to keep writing.
When you're on tour you definitely don't want lots of arguments. It's very important that everybody gets on because you're in close proximity a great deal of the time.
All your travelling is together, you eat together, you're on stage as a band together, when you get to the sound-check the band and the crew are all together.
