I Refuse To Step Inside The Ring

We Should Never Listen To Our Feelings. They Lead Us Astray.

I Was Always Embarrassed Because My Dad Wore A Suit And My Mother Wore Flat Pumps And A Cozy Jumper While My Friends' Parents Were Punks Or Hippies.

My Solo Album Is Dead And Buried. We Had The Funeral. It Was Sad And I Cried A Lot But It Made Such A Beautiful Corpse That We Had An Open Casket.

Even To Survive And Have Everyone In Good Health Now Is Really Precious. Bands Half Our Age Don't Even Get That Lucky Sometimes. It's Good To Practice Gratitude, As They Say. I Used To Be So Ungracious, I Wasn't Even Aware That I Should Be Feeling Grateful! Now I Actually Try And Put It Into My Daily Thought: Be Grateful. It's Not Always So Easy.

Being A Singer, Being A Performer, You Have Tricks, Somehow, To Calm Yourself When Things Feel A Little Overwhelming. I Don't Do Breathing Exercises, Per Se, But I Definitely Have To Have A Sort Of Internal Word With Myself Before Things Got Completely Out Of Hand And I Fainted On The Floor.
