A few nights ago I was crying in my sleep, dreaming of my dead parents.
After my documentary aired. I suddenly had a bit of panic, because it’s very personal. I couldn’t watch it on the night, I was so scared. The next day people were walking up to me on the street and telling me their life story. It was extraordinary.
Yesterday because I was being paid to do it on stage.
My sister's wedding. Probably a bit of grit in my eye or something. Let's not make a big deal out of it.
Somebody wrote that my voice was more numbing than novocaine.
When I was little, a couple of rapes took place in Glasgow. I remember my mum saying to walk in the middle of the pavement, and to this day I am very conscious of where I am.
Schemes. I hate schemers.
Quiet, noisy, androgynous.
As a great songwriter.
