Quote

My whole career was launched in such sort of poptastic style with 'Kids In America', and I liked - and like - being poptastic. Songs big on melody, high on energy, lots of attitude... what's wrong with that?

Image
They're still building and testing / But what can we do / Condemning the seas and the land and the trees to a tomb
Kim Wilde
Image
I still tune in to the radio and listen to pop music and enjoy it as much as I ever have.
Kim Wilde
Image
I want to conquer the world and it seems like my own family is putting a stop to that.
Kim Wilde
Image
When love's the culmination of everything you feel, then it's the only thing that's precious, it's the only thing that's real.
Kim Wilde
Image
In the day I can smile though I wanna die / Hold on, hold on / I can keep it together for a little while / and be strong, so strong / But when the sun goes down and I'm all alone / I haven't the strength to fight / That's when my tears give in to the night

Careers don't seem to be built up in the same way as they were in the 80s.
Kim Wilde
Image
There is sadness and confusion in our hearts / And the world prepares to fight / as it tears itself apart, it isn't fair
Kim Wilde
Image
You can spend your life competing in a world that talks too loud / You can lose your own direction getting lost among the crowd / Confusion - is it any wonder that the road ahead's not clear / Well you can try too hard to find it now I realise it's here

Dad is my best mate and I can tell Mum absolutely anything. I really appreciate Mum and Dad. Why are we so close? Young parents, I think. The rock business keeps their minds young.

Image
Performing, I can take it or leave it. Horticulture is far more challenging. I'm absolutely fascinated by it.
Kim Wilde
Image
You need a bit more to be a pop star than just a good voice.
Kim Wilde
Image
I was very, very fortunate. I knew that. I've always known that.
Kim Wilde
Image
I do know what my family has done for me, but they do need to give me some space to let me be myself. There would be some things I would handle differently.
Kim Wilde
Image
You're full of insecurities in your 20s - most of the time your heart's being broken, you're having a difficult time finding out who the hell you are, and I was trying to do that in the full glare of the public.

The big labels have less of a stranglehold on artists and how they record and where they go.
Kim Wilde
Image
The record company really pissed me off when they told me to lose weight. I couldn't be bothered with looking a certain way. So I left the business. I don't regret it.
Kim Wilde
Image
And while we destroy / Our children will grow / Not missing the things they'll never know / A crime against them / Against you and me / A crime against all humanity

I didn't spend much time in America, which probably was a mistake. To someone else, having a number one in America would be enough to get them touring.
