I'd prefer to be good, but I'm not always. I struggle.

I am quite competitive. In stupid things like card games.

I get up, go and get a coffee, and go do the crossword - I'm loyal to one particular paper, the 'Guardian' - and that's my idea of a perfect morning.
Laura Marling

It took a lot of time and practice for me to realise that there's no point trying to be something you're not.

Age is relative. Experience is relative. And I think often intensity is confused with maturity.

One woman I interviewed, Amanda Ghost, said, Let's not bullshit, there are no women at the top of the music business, and that is a serious problem. And I said, Yes! And I didn't shy away from saying that. But I still don't want to be in the firing line. I'm not clever or witty or brave enough to get into the political nitty-gritty with it
