Look, when I started out, mainstream culture was Sinatra, Perry Como, Andy Williams, Sound of Music. There was no fitting into it then and of course, there's no fitting into it now.
The Backstreet Boys were so ten years ago. Whatever.
I don't use old music.
The songwriting has never really stepped forward from the '50's.
We used to do 'Venus' live for a long time but never got 'round to recording it because people would always say it's too old-fashioned a song.
I hate bands that hang around, like, 10 years too long - they're like the drunk at a party you can't get rid of.
There are so many songs that we just don't play anymore.
Classical music has become rarefied, like a maiden aunt that nobody wants to talk to.
My management tells me, Don't be optimistic, because it's the young people's world now. They want to hear what they want to hear, and you're a classic rocker. I don't know if you're gonna get the play.
My music is not modern, it is merely badly played
I mean, in rock music terms I'm like a dinosaur.
I don't know - I don't listen to the radio that much. I really am an old-soul kind of girl.
I feel I am a little unfit for the kind of music that is being made today. There is a big difference between what I sang earlier and what is being made now. I am not saying this music is bad, but there are too many beats.
