I sang and played keyboard, so I was virtually a statue at the back of the stage. I'm not complaining about that; I enjoyed that role.

I don't have the ability to be a diva. I can't flaunt. I don't have that kind of stage presence. I think of myself as just a band member.

I'm quite a domestic person by nature, and the nomad thing had got a bit stale on me, really.

I haven't lost my blues roots.

It's such a diva thing, but I need one room for my suitcases and one for me.

Before shows, we rub elbows and growl. It started once when someone had a cold, and we didn't want to hug each other. So we started rubbing elbows. And we don't kiss. We just go, 'Grrrr!'

I actually enjoyed making 'Tango In The Night.'

My contribution is the romance and the warmth. The love songs.

My songwriting, when I'm writing, is nothing like it is in its finished form - but you have to start somewhere.

Anyone I don't know, in my emails or texts, I just delete. If it's someone legitimate, they'll send it again.

WhatsApp I adore. I use it all the time with my friends.

I suffered from some delusion that I wanted to be an English country girl, a Sloane Ranger donning the old Hunter boots and Barbour jacket to slosh around in mud with the Range Rover.

I like being with the band, the whole idea of playing music with them.

The rock n' roll lifestyle did have its perks, but it wasn't all limos and parties in the early days.

'Hold Me' was a nightmare! It was the middle of the desert in Palm Springs, in the height of summer. I don't know what possessed us to do that. But we sometimes do crazy things.

There are so many songs that have become massive hits merely because the video is great, while the song is pretty rubbish. From that point of view, I think I've always preferred to listen to a song rather than look at it.

Music left my life for a while, to be honest. It wasn't that I didn't like it, but you know, I'm not really a solo player.

I have always needed other musicians to bounce off.
