This band - because this is myself on electric and acoustic guitars - we’ve done three tours together now and I really, really like it which is why I did the DVD as well Picture Quote #1

Writing is all about self-editing; it’s all about being present being aware of what’s happening Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

When I was younger I was obsessed with writing, so even if I wanted to listen, I didn’t have time Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

So if you’re on tour for eight months, a year... or whatever it is you definitely don’t want arguments and I’m happy to say that I’ve always had a really nice bunch of people around me all the time Picture Quote #1

My mother bought a piano, put it in the front room, and I just started writing my songs Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’ve written what and when I want to. It’s been about expressing myself. But with the degree, I had to learn to do everything in a very specific, disciplined way. I am very disciplined, but this demanded a totally different kind of discipline. A real challenge Picture Quote #1

I love to go on tour and perform. I love all the parts of the process Picture Quote #1

I am constantly being told that I have been a big influence for many people, including other musicians Picture Quote #1
