Fate is being kind to me. Fate doesn't want me to be too famous too young.

I do not want a husband who honours me as a queen, if he does not love me as a woman.

I want to do a little bit of everything. I want to play a good, strong female character.

I don't want people to come and see our gig because of the magnificent things I'm doing with my hips, but it's their evening, you know. They have to have fun. I'm a little bit naive.

I've never got on with the British press because they've always given me such a hard time. Once they build a band up they just want to do people down. They shouldn't concentrate on the colour of someone's shirt they should listen to the music.
