When you make a lot of money for a record company, they don't want you to evolve. Growing older, you naturally do.

Record contracts are just like - I'm gonna say the word - slavery. I would tell any young artist... don't sign.

Record companies would rather you stay dumb, not even think of it as a business, so they can either rip you off or get you out of the way in five years to make way for the new groups.

Stop doing what the record companies are doing and do what's in your heart.

And once the music is out there, when you're selling a record and selling music and people are going to do whatever they want with it, it's kind of hard to resist certain opportunities, especially in the record market now.

There are very few record companies who will entertain a middle-aged woman coming to them with original material.

I think the music business is probably not happy with what we've done, because the people buying the record have actually got to pick what they want to buy, rather than being told what they should buy.

Well it's because the record companies are pumping away with their commercial stuff. I think it's a shame.

It's not like it used to be where everybody has a record company to belong to.
